Tire 101 - Anatomy Of Traction
What's What On A TireAs the saying goes, a jack of all trades is a master of none. Generally speaking, tools designed to complete two very different jobs do neither job very well. Fortunately for us, Jeeps do not fall into that category. Jeep is one of the original American “do-it-all” tools. Originally marketed to the civilian market as a tractor that could plow a field, dig a hole, or be driven to town, Jeeps are one of the few tools that can do many jobs well. In modern times that means slow, heavy rock trail work and high-speed highway commuting. Okay, there are compromises. Most really comfortable Jeeps are not the best rockcrawlers, and most dedicated rockcrawlers can’t buzz down the highway with the flow of traffic. Much like the Jeep, the tire does many different jobs. And with modern compounds and designs, tires generally do a pretty good job no matter what gets thrown at them—but there are compromises. From street-legal drag tires to bias-ply mud tires with huge tread blocks and nearly bulletproof sidewalls, tires do it all. Somewhere in the middle is the real jack-of-all-trades: the all-terrain, all weather tire. What makes one tire different from the next? Differences in construction, tread design, and rubber compound determine where a tire will work or fail. Follow along as we show you a little bit about tire anatomy and delve into different tire construction, talk about different parts of the tire, and wrap up with a discussion on what all that writing on your tires means.
