Q

How many plies do heavy duty service trucks have?

A

Up to 32 plies

29
Q

What does g mean on a tire?

A

The load/size relationship

30
Q

A tire reads 155/80, what does the 155 stand for?

A

Section width in millimeters

31
Q

A tire reads 155/80, what does the 80 stand for?

A

Height to width ratio

32
Q

A tire reads, P195/75 R 14, what does that P, R, and 14 stand for?

A

P is the tire type (passenger, commercial, temporary)
R is tire construction (r-radial, b-bias belted, d- diagonal belted)
14 is the rim or wheel diameter in inches

33
Q

What does the term vulcanizing mean?

A

Means heating the rubber under pressure

34
Q

What is a bias ply tire?

A

It has plies running at an angle from bead to bead

35
Q

What is a belted bias tire?

A

Is a bias tire with belts added to increase threads stiffness. Belts don’t run around sidewalks but lie only under tread.

36
Q

What is a Radial ply tire?

A

Has plies running straight across from bead to bead with stabilizer belts directly beneath the tread. Radial tires have flexible sidewalks but a stiff tread.

37
Q

What does the DOT stand for on a tire?

A

The letters DOT certify compliance with departments of transportation tire safety standards.

38
Q

What is the speed for a regular tire?

A

105mph/168kph

39
Q

What does it mean when a tired is S rated?

A

Means the tire has a speed rating of 113mph/180kph

40
Q

What is a t rated tire?

A

T rated tire is a speed rating of 119mph/190kph

41
Q

What is a h rated tire?

A

Tire speed rating of 130mph/210kph

42
Q

What is a U rated tire?

A

Speeding rating of 149mph/210+kph

43
Q

What is a Z rated tire?

A

Speed rating of 150mph/240+kph

44
Q

How do you read the DOT serial numbers or tire identification on a tire? Is found next to DOT.

A

The first 2 characters identify the tire manufacturer, The remaining characters identify size, type, date of manufacture.

45
Q

What does aspect ratio mean on a tire?

A

Is the relationship of the height and width of a tire.

46
Q

What does a aspect ratio of 75 mean?

A

That the tire section is 75 percent higher as it is wide. In other words the side wall is 75 percent of the tires width.

47
Q

What is the maximum inflation pressure for p metric size (standard load) tires?

A

35 psi (240kpa)

48
Q

What is the maximum inflation pressure for p metric size (extra load) tires?

A

41 psi (283 kPa)

49
Q

What is a load range system on a tire?

A

Uses letters to identify the load and the inflation limits for a particular tire.

50
Q

What is the maximum psi for load range B?

A

32 psi

51
Q

What is the maximum psi for load range C?

A

36 psi

52
Q

What is the maximum psi for load range D?

A

40 psi

53
Q

A

Tire must not be drive more then 240km and at a speed of only 80kph. To exceed these limits is to risk blowout of the collapsible spare tire.

54
Q

What is the caution for split rim wheels?

A

Make sure all air pressure has been released from the tube before beginning to remove the lock ring or flange. If air is still in the tube, it could blow the tire off the rim when the lock ring or flange is removed.

55
Q

What is the speed rating indicate on a tire?

A

The speed rating indicates the maximum speed for short periods of time that a tire is designed to withstand if it is properly inflated and not overloaded.

56
Q

What is the load index on the tire?

A

I’m does the most recent version of metric tire sizing you will find a number and a letter following the tire size.

For example, you might see a tire marked 195/60R14 85T. Here, the number 85 represents the load capacity of that tire one properly inflated, and T indicates the speed rating.

57
Q

What happens to a tire when it is underinflated?

A

There is wear at the shoulders of the tire

58
Q

What happens when a tire is overinflated?

A

The centre of the tire wears

59
Q

What causes cupping on a tire?

A

The wheels are out of alignment. Or bad struts/shocks or bad ball joint.

60
Q

What causes cracked tread?

A

Under inflation or excessive speed

61
Q

What causes tires to have feathered edges?

A

Incorrect toe and camber

62
Q

What causes tires to have bald spots?

A

Unbalanced wheels

63
Q

What causes tires to have one side wear?

A

Excessive camber

64
Q

Define camber

A

Is when your tires sit on an angle instead of flat and straight. For example when the top of your tires are pushed in more than the bottom of them. Or when the bottom of the tire is more pushed in then the top.
