Wheels and Tyres 
Page 4
3 groups, each group to 
research a given topic and feed 
back to the group 
Group 1 characteristics of a radial ply tyre 
Group 2 characteristics of a cross ply tyre 
Group 3 reasons why cross ply and radial 
ply tyres cant be mixed in some 
circumstances
Characteristics of radial and 
cross ply tyres are very 
different. So much so that it is 
illegal to mix them in differing 
layouts.
State characteristics of radial tyres: 
• Lower rolling resistance so fuel 
consumption is improved 
• Better handling than a crossply tyre 
• Approximately 80% longer life than a cross 
ply tyre
State characteristics of cross ply 
tyres: 
• Lighter steering at slow speeds 
• Don’t provide good adhesion when 
cornering when compared to radial ply 
tyres – vehicle will drift easier with cross 
ply tyres
Which tyre is the most desirable for 
use on modern vehicles and why? 
• Radial ply tyres are more desirable 
• Better road holding 
• Better fuel consumption 
• Better life expectancy
Below is a mix of tyres on various 
vehicles, state whether the tyre 
combinations are legal or illegal:
Legal or illegal? 
Illegal
Legal or illegal? 
Illegal
Illegal or legal? 
Legal
Legal or illegal? 
Legal 
This is an odd combination, this is legal because of the number of tyres 
on the rear axle giving more surface area in contact with the road surface, 
so less likely to get over steer. It is illegal to mix cross plies and radial on 
the rear axle because as the radial tyres deflect the cross ply tyres will be 
over loaded.
State why it is considered 
dangerous to mix radial and cross 
ply tyres in certain combinations: 
• Because of the steering and road holding 
characteristics between the two tyres 
• Radial ply tyres are better at road holding than 
cross plies 
• Understeer is more desirable than over steer, so 
if the two are to be mixed the radials must be 
fitted to the rear
Questions 
1. What tyres are considered to be the best? 
2. Name 2 advantages of radial ply tyres over 
cross ply tyres 
3. Why is it illegal to mix cross ply and radial ply 
tyres on the same axle? 
4. If you have 2 radial ply tyres and 2 cross ply 
tyres how can they all be fitted to the vehicle 
legally? 
5. What steering situation is considered to be the 
most desirable under or over steer, and why?
Answers 
1. Radial ply tyres 
2. Better fuel efficiency, last longer, better 
road holding 
3. Because of the different handling 
characteristics of the two types of tyre 
would make it unsafe 
4. Radials to the rear, cross plies to the 
front 
5. Under steer is most desirable because it 
is deemed easier to control – so is safer

  • 2. 3 groups, each group to research a given topic and feed back to the group Group 1 characteristics of a radial ply tyre Group 2 characteristics of a cross ply tyre Group 3 reasons why cross ply and radial ply tyres cant be mixed in some circumstances
  • 3. Characteristics of radial and cross ply tyres are very different. So much so that it is illegal to mix them in differing layouts.
  • 4. State characteristics of radial tyres: • Lower rolling resistance so fuel consumption is improved • Better handling than a crossply tyre • Approximately 80% longer life than a cross ply tyre
  • 5. State characteristics of cross ply tyres: • Lighter steering at slow speeds • Don’t provide good adhesion when cornering when compared to radial ply tyres – vehicle will drift easier with cross ply tyres
  • 6. Which tyre is the most desirable for use on modern vehicles and why? • Radial ply tyres are more desirable • Better road holding • Better fuel consumption • Better life expectancy
  • 7. Below is a mix of tyres on various vehicles, state whether the tyre combinations are legal or illegal:
  • 11. Legal or illegal? Legal This is an odd combination, this is legal because of the number of tyres on the rear axle giving more surface area in contact with the road surface, so less likely to get over steer. It is illegal to mix cross plies and radial on the rear axle because as the radial tyres deflect the cross ply tyres will be over loaded.
  • 12. State why it is considered dangerous to mix radial and cross ply tyres in certain combinations: • Because of the steering and road holding characteristics between the two tyres • Radial ply tyres are better at road holding than cross plies • Understeer is more desirable than over steer, so if the two are to be mixed the radials must be fitted to the rear
  • 13. Questions 1. What tyres are considered to be the best? 2. Name 2 advantages of radial ply tyres over cross ply tyres 3. Why is it illegal to mix cross ply and radial ply tyres on the same axle? 4. If you have 2 radial ply tyres and 2 cross ply tyres how can they all be fitted to the vehicle legally? 5. What steering situation is considered to be the most desirable under or over steer, and why?
  • 14. Answers 1. Radial ply tyres 2. Better fuel efficiency, last longer, better road holding 3. Because of the different handling characteristics of the two types of tyre would make it unsafe 4. Radials to the rear, cross plies to the front 5. Under steer is most desirable because it is deemed easier to control – so is safer
