Presentation on TVS Tyres
The document discusses tires (tyres) for automobiles. It describes the basic functions and components of a tire, including the outer cover and inner tube. It discusses different types of tire casings (carcasses) such as cross-ply, radial-ply, and belted bias-ply tires. Radial tires are described as having advantages over bias-ply tires like better handling and reduced rolling resistance. The document also covers tire materials, tread design considerations, tire wear factors, troubleshooting tire issues, and the tire manufacturing process.

- 3. Tyre and itsfunctions Tyre is a rubber member which gives the cushion to the automobile. It consists of outer cover i.e. tyre proper and tube inside. The tyre-tube assembly is mounted over the wheel rim and air inside the tube carries entire load and provides cushion.

- 5. Functions of tyre Tosupport the vehicle load. To provide cushion against the shocks. To transmit driving and braking forces to the road. To provide cornering power for smooth steering.

- 18. Comparison of radialand bias-ply tyres Advantages of radial ply tyres:- The side walls can be bend readily ,its shock absorbing capacity is 25% more than bias ply or cross ply. The breaker strips of radial tyres act independently of the wall plies unlike in cross ply where there is no breaker strip. Lower rolling resistance and hysteresis loss leads to less fuel consumption.
- 19. Longer treadlife because of less heat build in tyre. Breaking efficiency on wet roads is better because of greater sidewall flexibility and tread stiffness. Smaller slip angles and higher cornering power which results in Better steering characteristics. While taking turns it has less tendency to distort and lift off the road from one side. Larger resistance to punctures ,cuts and impacts in the tread area.
- 20. Tyre materials For carcass:- Atthe time of second world war, staple cotton was the tyre carcass material and it was replaced with rayon. Then nylon was introduced which is stronger, more elastic and cooler running than rayon. Then terylene was introduced.
- 21. For cords ofstabilizer belts:- Rayon ,Terylene ,glass fibre or steel. Rubber :- Rubber used in tyres is blend of natural and synthetic rubbers to which various chemicals are added to obtain desired properties like wear resistance ,reduced hysteresis, less internal friction.
