Structure Of Michelin Tyre Malaysia:
Sidewall |
Protects the tyre against impacts with curbs, etc. This is also where the side wall markings can be found which tell you important information regarding the Tyre. |
Bead |
Clamps the tyre firmly against the wheel rim. |
Tread |
Provides traction in a variety of conditions, resists wear, abrasion, and heat. |
Crown Plies |
Provide the rigid base for the tread, which allows for good gas mileage. The plies also provide centrifugal and lateral rigidly to the Tyre, while being designed to flex sufficiently for a comfortable ride.
|
Airtight Rubber |
Formulated virtually impermeable butyl rubber, this material replaces the inner tube in modern, tubeless tyres. Check your air pressure monthly, as some air loss occurs over time. |
Carcass Ply |
Made up of thin textile fiber cables bonded into the rubber. These cables are largely responsible for determining the strength of the Tyre. |
