- A construction of tire where plies crossan diagonally about the casing. In great size replaced by the radial construction in applications commercial.
C
- Cap-and-Baseline Compound (Compound Cap-and-Baseline)
- A tread design of dual layer that uses a compound superior more hard to resistance to wear and a layer base more smooth for the management of the heat.
- Casing (Casing)
- The body structural of the tire below the rubber of the tread, designed to support the retread and offer multiple lives usefules.
- Closed Shoulder (Closed Shoulder)
- A tread design where ribs outer are connected, reducing the retention of stones and the uneven wear in drive tires axle.
- CPM / CPK (Cost Per Km)
- Total cost of the tire divided by the total of km driving before the removal. The metric standard to compare the value of commercial tires.
D
- DOT Code (Code DOT)
- A serial number molded in the sidewall that identifies to the manufacturer, the plant of production, the tire size and the date of manufacturing.
- Drive Position (Position of Drive)
- The rear drive axle(s) of a commercial truck, requiring tires with deep, aggressive tread for maximum traction.
- Dual Assembly (Set Dual)
- A configuration where two tires mount side-to-side in a single wheel, common in drive axles and trailer.
F
- FMVSS
- Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards -- standards of US origin governingn the performance, labeling and requirements of safety of tires. In Anguilla, the standardtilifed equivalent is regulated by the Department of Commerce, Industry & Consumer Affairs and CROSQ.
- Footprint (Pattern)
- The tread area of the tire in contact direct with the surface of the via in any moment under load.
G
- Grooves (Grooves)
- Canales molded in the surface of the tread for evacuar water, disipar heat and provide edges for improve the drive.
H
- HATT
- Hanksugi Advanced Tire Technology -- a landing proprietary of engineering that optimizes compounds of the tread, the resistance of the bead and the geometry of the casing.
I
- Inflation Pressure (Inflation Pressure)
- The pressure of the air within a tire size in PSI. The inflation correct is critical for the load capacity, the wear and the performance of the diesel.
- Irregular Wear (Wear Irregular)
- Erosion desparejone of the tread caused by misalignment, inflation incorrecto, problemore mechanicals or use of tires in positions inrights.
L
- Load Index (Load Index)
- A code numeric that indicates maximum weight than a tire can handle safely a your inflation nominal pressure.
- Load Range (Load Range)
- A designation of letter (G, H, J, L) that represents the resistance equivalent in plies of a tire and your maximum capacity of inflation.
- LRR (Low Rolling Resistance)
- Tires engineered for minimize the energy the by deformation when the tire wheel, improving directly the performance of the diesel.
- Lug Pattern (Pattern of Tacos)
- A tread design with grooves lateral deeper for aggressive drive traction, commonly used in drive axles and applications off-highway.
M
- M+S (Mud and Snow)
- A brand in the sidewall that indicates that the tread of the tire complies with the standards of the Rubber Manufacturers Association for drive in mud and snow light.
P
- Ply Rating (Rating of Plies)
- A size traditional of resistance of the tire that indicates the plies of cuerda that handle the load. Now replaced by the system of designation Load Range.
- PSI
- Pounds by square inch -- the unit of standard size for the inflation pressure of tires used in Anguilla.
R
- Radial Construction (Construction Radial)
- A structure of tire where plies corren perpendiculares the steer of ride, providing uniform wear and sidewalls flexibles.
- Retread (Retreading)
- The process of pulir a casing gastadto and applying new tread rubber, extending service life to a cost significantly lower.
- Rib Pattern (Pattern of Ribs)
- A tread design with grooves circumferential continuous, optimized for long on-highway mileage and uniform wear in steer axles.
- Rolling Resistance (Rolling Resistance)
- The energy than a tire wears by friction internal to the to roll under load. Lower values translate in better performance of the diesel.
S
- Sidewall (Sidewall)
- The section vertical between tread and the bead that contains the tire size, the load rating, the code DOT and the brands of the manufacturer.
- Siping (Laminillas)
- Cuts fine runstwo in the blocks of the tread for createsr edges additional grip that improvementn the drive in wet and reduce the hydroplaning.
- SmartWay
- A verification program of the EPA that certifies that tires comply with standards of diesel savings and reduction of emissions.
- Speed Rating (Index of Speed)
- A code of letter (for example, L, M) that indicates the maximum sustained speed at which a tire can operate safely under load.
- Steer Position (Position of Steer)
- The front axle of a commercial truck, that demands tires optimizeds for precise handling, lateral stability and uniform tread wear.
- Stone Axlectors (Expulsoris of Stones)
- Small elements of rubber elevated molded in the grooves of the tread that preventsn that the stones incrusten and perforen the casing.
T
- TPMS
- System of Monitoreo of Pressure of Tires -- sensoris electronics that monitorean continuously and alertan the drivers when the inflation cae below niveles safes.
- Trailer Position (Trailer Position)
- Positions of axles no motrices in trailers, that require tires engineered to resist lateral drag and minimize rolling resistance.
- Tread Compound (Compound of the Tread)
- The formulation specific of rubber of the surface of the tread, engineered for balancing resistance to wear, drive and dissipation of heat.
- Tread Depth (Depth of the Tread)
- The distance from the surface of the tread up to the background of the groove more deep, size in 32nds of inch.
U
- UTQG
- Rating Uniforme of Lliberty of Tires -- a system of rating of the DOT that measures tread wear, drive and resistance to temperature (mainly for tires of pasajeros).
V
- Virgin Tire (Tire Virgen)
- A tire completely new that never has been used ni retreaded, also known as casing new u original.
