Brand Name Product Name Tyre Size Safety Warning UTQG Place of Introduction DOT DOT(Department of Transportation) UTQG(Uniform Tyre Quality Grading) Treadwear Each tyre shall be graded for treadwear performance with the word ''TREADWEAR'' followed by a number of two or three digits representing the tyre's grade for treadwear, expressed as a percentage of the NHTSA nominal treadwear value. Treadwear grades shall be expressed in multiples of 20 (for example, 80, 120, 160). Traction Each tyre shall be graded for traction performance with the word ''TRACTION,'' followed by the symbols AA, A, B, or C. They represent the tyre's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. Temperature The temperature grades, from highest to lowest, are A, B and C.These represent the tyre's ability to dissipate heat under controlled indoor test conditions. Any tyre rated below C is considered unacceptable. Tyre Size Tyre spec notation varies according to car model but primarily consists of symbols and numbers denoting tyre width, aspect ratio, diameter, load index and speed symbol that indicate tyre performance.

Tyre Guide Tyre Structure Tyre Sidewall Sizes & Specs Load & Speed Home Help & Support Tyre Guide Tyre Structure Tyre Structure Tread, shoulder, sidewall, bead, carcass, belt, inner liner, and other components are structurally connected to complete the scientific structure of a tyre. * Click the buttons to see the names and functions of each part. Tread Part of the tyre which has direct contact with the roads surface The tread consists of a thick layer of rubber which comes into direct contact with the road surface. It is highly resistant to fracture and shock in order to protect the carcass and belt located in the tyres interior. Rubber with strong anti-inner abrasion features is used to increase the tyres driving lifespan. Shoulder The shoulder of the tyre Located between the tread and sidewall the shoulder is made up of the thickest layer of rubber in the entire tyre, making it easy to dispel heat that is accumulated inside the tyre whilst driving. Sidewall The side (lateral part) of the tyre Located between the tyres shoulder and bead the sidewall protects the carcass and increases ride-ability with its flexible extension and contraction movements. This part of the tyre also contains a great deal of information such as the tyre type, standard, structure, pattern, manufacturing company and brand name. Carcass The framework of the tyre The carcass is the framework of the tyre, the most important part. Referring to all layers made up of tyre cord where internal air pressure, weight and shock are absorbed. Breaker or Belt The layer in between the tread and carcass The breaker is a cord layer placed in-between the tread and carcass in a bias tyre to protect the carcass absorbing external shock and preventing splintering or injury to the tread from coming into direct contact with the carcass. The belt is a strong reinforcement layer located in the circumference between the tread and carcass in radial and belt tyres. It's functions are similar to those of the breaker whilst also reinforcing the strength of the tread by firmly tightening the carcass. Bead The part that is in contact with the rim The bead wraps around the end of the cord and fixes the tyre to the rim. It is made up of various parts including the bead wire, core, rubber and flipper. In general the rim is slightly tightened so in the case of sudden reduction of air pressure whilst driving the tyre will not become unfastened from the rim. Inner Liner The inner liner substitutes for the tube in the tyres interior, consisting of a layer of rubber with superior airtight qualities which maintains air inside the tyre. The rubber generally consists of butyl, a synthetic rubber or a polyisoprene type.

Step 3 Check tyre balance. Step 4 Attach the newly attached tyre and wheel to the vehicle. Tip for Tyre Replacement Generally, all four tyres should be replaced at the same time. However, if only two tyres are replaced, the new tyres should be put on the rear. If only one tyre is replaced, it can cause left/right tyre imbalance and can have an effect on a vehicle performance.

Tyre Pressure - Tyre Care Guide | Hankook Tire Australia site

Care Guide Tyre Pressure Tread Wear Rotation Balance Wheel Alignment Replacement Storage Home Help & Support Care Guide Tyre Pressure Tyre Pressure The tyre inflation pressure is directly related to safety therefore must be checked regularly as correct maintenance can prolong the lifespan of the tyres. Learn more about the importance of tyre inflation pressure and how to check the pressure of your tyres below. Importance of Tyre Pressure Optimum air pressure should be maintained to ensure safety, driving performance, tyre life and fuel cost. Tyres have been known to lose up to one pound per square inch (psi) every month. It is important to check all tyres, even the spare, at least once a month or before a long trip. Tyre pressures should be checked at least once each month and before every long-distance trip. Tyre pressure and tyre life Recommended Interval Tyre pressures should be checked at least once each month and before every long-distance trip. Tyre Pressure Status Low air pressure: It causes the contact patch width to increase, which results in excessive force on the either edge of the tread. Outer abrasion can damage each part of the tyre. It also contributes to an increased slope of the sidewall compared to that of optimum air pressure, which can be dangerous. High air pressure: Due to the inflated shape of the tyre, like a balloon, the force is focused at the center. The resulting uneven force across the contact patch becomes the cause of irregular tread wear. Checking for Optimum Tyre Pressure Hankook recommends that you check your tyre pressure once each month. The optimum air pressure level for your tyre can be found on the inner side of the car door, or in the car manual (the location of the sticker can vary according to country). The number on the tyre sidewall means maximum tyre pressure. Therefore, do not apply tyre pressure above it. Driver's side door How to Check Tyre Pressure Step 1 Purchase a certified air pressure gauge or take your vehicle to a nearby service center or fuel station for a check-up. Step 2 Tyres must be checked in a “cold” state (at least three hours after driving). Step 3 Insert the gauge into the valve. Step 4 Compare the measured air pressure level with the level listed on the car door. * If the measured figure is higher release air until the figure matches what is listed on the car door. * If the measured figure is lower insert more air until the figure matches what is listed on the car door.
