What is a car tire? Explanatory dictionaries and encyclopedias give a clear and unambiguous definition - this is an elastic multilayer shell made of rubber and other materials, put on a metal rim. It should be added to the above formulation that the shell is a complex and multifunctional structure.
Main bus functions
The bulky, rattling trolley with an internal combustion engine turned into a car after the invention of the pneumatic tire. It took a lot of effort and time from engineers to create a strong, reliable and durable product.
Tires installed on a modern car provide the following functions:
- grip of the wheels with the road surface;
- transfer of engine energy to the ground;
- absorption of shock energy from bumps on the road;
- shape retention under static and dynamic loads.
Designers are constantly working to reduce the noise level that occurs when the vehicle is moving. Noise or background sound generated when driving under the wheels creates an additional burden on the body of the person driving. This phenomenon cannot be dismissed, since a tired driver often makes mistakes when driving. The world's leading companies are working on the creation of low-noise "rubber".
The noise level on the road is determined by the following wheel parameters:
- raw material used in production;
- tire width;
- tread pattern and depth.
Soft rubber makes less noise. Hard - knocks on every pebble.
There is a wide range of high performance car tires on the market. When choosing them, the car owner should clearly formulate his requests and assess financial capabilities.
7. Rubber of the AVON company
The British company that manufactures rubber for cars and motorcycles began its activities in the last quarter of the 19th century. Natural rubber - the main raw material for the production of tubes and tires, was supplied from Africa. The impetus for the creation of new technologies was the Second World War. Almost all vehicles of the victorious armies were “rolled” on tires made in England. Synthetic materials are widely used in technology.
Currently, AVON occupies a decent position in the top ten manufacturers of silent rubber for passenger cars. Tests and actual use of the Euromaster VH100 tires confirm the low noise level.
However, the braking distance of the car turned out to be too long - it is this parameter that does not allow the product to take the top lines of the rating. Plus, tires wear out quickly. According to the estimates of ordinary consumers, the price of rubber is significantly overestimated - from 7000 rubles per unit.
6. Goodyear products
Goodyear, headquartered in the United States, supplies its products to all industrialized countries. To gain a foothold in the global market, it took effective marketing, appropriate patents and technology. Today, several models are presented in the line of low-noise tires.
Asymmetric Eagle F1 tires from Goodyear have the following advantages over similar products:
- uniform transfer of the load to the wheels;
- high reliability;
- precise transmission of power from the steering wheel.
The list of shortcomings noted the high cost and focus on premium cars.
5. Nokian tires
Nokian winter tires are well known in Russia. The practice of recent years has convincingly demonstrated the high performance parameters of silent rubber of this brand. Nokian NRHi tires performed excellently in various tests. During the study, specific parameters were measured and a comprehensive assessment was derived.
Particular attention was paid to the behavior of the car when driving on wet road surfaces, on tight bends and under heavy braking. Driving is straightforward in all modes.
Today the cost of one tire is from 6000 rubles.
4. Tigar from Serbia
Car tires under the Tigar brand began to be produced in the mid-30s of the last century in Serbia. At the enterprises of the company, the norms and quality standards of leading American and European enterprises are successfully applied.
On the Russian market, there is a steady demand for Quiet Tigar High Performance tireswith a European quality certificate. The list of positives includes the following parameters:
- small weight;
- fast roll-in;
- optimal price.
Good grip on the road surface ensures vehicle stability when driving at all speeds. Soft sidewalls are good for wheel curbs, but require the driver to be careful when hitting curbs.
3. Quiet tires from the Triangle Group concern
Products of automobile companies from China are found on Russian roads in all regions. Consumables are also supplied in corresponding volumes.
The demand for quiet tires is growing slowly but steadily. Experts point out that Chinese-made tires successfully compete with products from well-known world brands. The reason for this situation is simple and understandable - with all the equal operating parameters, Chinese rubber is cheaper.
As a positive result of the company's development, one can cite Triangle Group Sportex TSH11 tires... Tires belong to the budget category and are available to a wide range of car owners - the base price on the market is fixed from 4200 rubles.
2. Tires from MICHELIN
One of the recognized leaders in the production of noiseless tires is the French concern MICHELIN. Technological lines and raw materials are the same at all sites. This approach allows you to optimize production costs and ensures the production of high quality products. Practice has confirmed the rationality of the decision.
Within the framework of this topic, the MICHELIN Primacy 4 tires should be noted. Numerous tests confirm that these tires deservedly occupy the top positions in the ratings. The list of positive properties includes the following parameters:
- standard braking distance;
- excellent handling;
- minimal loss of quality with wear.
Under optimal operating conditions, tires can withstand mileage of up to 100 thousand km. However, the market price cannot be called low - the starting mark is set at 9,000 rubles.
1. Legendary Bridgestone brand
The reliability and driving performance of tires is checked by the operating conditions of the vehicle and the driving style. Experienced drivers are well aware of these criteria, and when choosing rubber for their car, they prefer Bridgestone brand products... The company from Japan has been producing rubber products since the thirties of the last century. By now, it has established itself in the markets of all developed countries of the world.
Taking into account regular requests, the concern has developed a line of tires for driving in the warm season. Quietness has been given due consideration in the design of the tires.
The use of new materials has brought the expected effect. The Potenza S001 tires are a good example. Rubber perfectly "holds" the road in any weather. Even in heavy rain, the car does not lose control on a powerful water stream. In the domestic market, rubber can be purchased at a price of 6,000 rubles.
Silent tire selection rules
The return on costs for car maintenance is calculated not only in monetary terms. It is very important that the driving process does not lead to quick fatigue or extreme fatigue. Consequences of this kind are permissible when working on large trucks and special equipment.
You can significantly reduce the noise level in the passenger compartment by choosing the right tires. Quiet tires must meet the following conditions:
- provide a standard braking distance;
- have high wear resistance;
- do not interfere with the operation of the machine.
An important tip is that you should not "buy" for cheapness. The low cost of rubber is very often attributed to the use of surrogate materials in the production process. At the same time, the purchase of silent tires should not undermine the family budget. Before purchasing a specific model, preliminary calculations should be carried out and all possible positive and negative consequences should be weighed.
