Her e Is an abridged" Layman's Glossary at Tire Terms" tram Goodyear, to
help us be more Informed and knowwhat
we' re talking about the next ti me we
have to buy tires for the faml1y car or
motorcycle.
BEADS - Could be what bangs around
the neck, but In a tire these are the rub ber-covered hoops of bun die d wire
strands that hold a tire on Its wheel rim.
BELT - It might hold up your trousers. Inside a tire, though, between the
plies and the tread, It provides excep tional trend life and makes tire replacements less trequent. Not all tires have
belts - yet.
BIAS- This bas nothing to do with Inequality , but means the reintorclng cords
at a tire at an acute (or bias) angle to
the centerline at the tire.
BLADE - Not what bloodied your finger
while carving the roast last Sunday.
Blades in a tire tread are little molded
crevices that pr ovide thousands at gripping and wiping edges for traction.
CARCASS - R e a ll y an unpleasant
thought, exce pt In tire jargon. This Is the
maln structure at a tire, relntorced with
tabr lc, which forms the tire's air cham ber.
LINER - Not one of Willie Mays' hits
Into the stands , but a rubberized materlal applied to the Inside ota tubeless tire
to pr otect Its fabr ic .
MOLD _ This could be the stuff all
over that tour-month-old tomato you
found behind the refrigerator yesterday .
Goodyear says It Is the metal torm In
which a tire Is given Its desired shape
and tread patter n during vulcanization,
or curing, of the rubber .
RIB _ This Is something men and
women have been arguing about since
long betore anyone ever thought of tires
or automobiles , but It also reters to the
raised portions at a tire's tread which
contai n .•• er ••• blades.
