Bias-ply tires dominated the tire industry for about 50 years until the first radial tires, reinforced with steel belts, were introduced by Michelin in Europe in 1948.

While John Dunlop is widely credited for inventing the pneumatic tire, did you know that someone actually beat him to it? As it turns out, another Scotsman by the name of Robert Thomson was able to patent a pneumatic tire design in France in 1846.

Did you know that some speed ratings on tires are set in kilometers per hour? This is why speed ratings are strange mph figures, like R: 106 mph or Q: 99 mph.

Tire feathering is a type of tread wear where the tread blocks have rounded edges on one side and sharp edges on the other. This is most often caused by high-speed cornering, but it also can result from driving with misaligned wheels.

When the pneumatic tire was discovered for the second time in 1888, it became very popular. The tires caught people’s attention at the time because they gave bicycles a smoother ride than before.

Some auto tires come with the option of an added comfort layer. This feature offers 20 percent (on average) more cushion than standard passenger tires, which translates to a smoother and quieter ride.

Tire pressure is not only good for your safety and tire life, but it can also boost your fuel efficiency by about 5 percent. Those are savings that can add up over time.

05/03/2022

Be sure to check your tire pressure often. If your tires are not inflated enough, you will not only wear them out faster, you will also see a noticeable drop in your fuel efficiency.

Did you know that the main wheels of a space shuttle are approximately the size of those found on an 18-wheeler? One tire of space shuttle can, however, support 142,000 pounds and is rated for 259 mph.

If you’re only planning to replace one tire on your vehicle, it’s recommended that you replace it with a similar brand to what you already have. When improved performance is your goal, replacing all the tires with the same brand is best.

So what do treadwear grades mean when it comes to today’s modern tires? Basically, this is a government required number that indicates a tire’s expected wear and is assigned by the tire manufacturer. A grade of 300 means that the tire will wear three times as well as one graded at 100.

When buying tires, make sure they are all the same type and try not to mix radial tires with bias ply tires. If you must do this on a two-wheel drive vehicle, always install the radial tires on the rear axle.
