Understanding Tyres & Wheels: Your Guide to a Safer and Smoother Ride
Powered by AbbaTECH Automobile Limited
Your vehicle’s tyres and wheels are the only parts that touch the road — they play a major role in safety, comfort, and fuel efficiency. At AbbaTECH Automobile Limited, we believe every driver should understand how important it is to take good care of them. This guide will help you know why tyre and wheel maintenance matters and how to keep them in excellent condition.
🚗 What’s the Difference Between Tyres and Wheels?
Although they work together, tyres and wheels are not the same:
-
Wheel (Rim): The circular metal part connected to the vehicle axle.
-
Tyre: The rubber cover fitted around the wheel that grips the road.
Together, they ensure the car moves safely, smoothly, and efficiently.
🔍 Key Functions of Tyres & Wheels
✔ Traction & Grip
Tyres provide firm contact with the road, especially in wet or rough conditions.
✔ Stability & Control
They support the vehicle’s weight and maintain balance during turns.
✔ Shock Absorption
Tyres help absorb road bumps, making your ride comfortable.
✔ Fuel Efficiency
Good tyres reduce rolling resistance, saving fuel and money.
✔ Brake Performance
Healthy tyres provide shorter and safer stopping distance.
📌 Important Tyre Terms Every Driver Should Know
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Tread | Grooves that help grip the road and prevent skidding |
| PSI | Tyre inflation pressure (Air pressure inside the tyre) |
| Alignment | Correct wheel angle for stability and even tyre wear |
| Balancing | Ensures wheels rotate smoothly without vibration |
| Rotation | Changing tyre position to ensure even wear |
Knowing these helps you make better decisions on maintenance.
