Cross – ply

• the construction details are useful to show


how tyre technology has developed.

• Several textile plies are laid across each


other, running from bead to bead in
alternate directions.

• The number of plies depends on the size of


the tyre and the load it has to carry.

• The same number of plies is used on the


crown and the sidewalls.
Radial ply type
Radial ply type.
Radial – Ply
• Radial – Ply tyres consist of a carcass ply
formed by textile arcs running from one
bead to the other.

• Each ply which is laid in an arc at an angle


of 90 degrees to the direction the tyre
rolls.

• At the top of the tyre crown (under the


tread), there is a belt made up of several
plies reinforced with metal wire, laid on
top of the carcass ply.

• These crown plies, laid one on top of the


other, overlap at an angle determined by
the type of the tyre.
• Remember the tyre tread depth must be not less than 1.6mm over the central
three-quarters of the tyre and must go all the way round the circumference in
an continuous unbroken band with no bald patches anywhere on the tyre tread.

• If radial and cross-ply tyres are fitted to the same vehicle, the radial-ply tyres
must only be fitted to the rear.

• Cross-ply and radial ply tyres must never be fitted to the same axle.

• Tyre pressures must be set to the manufactures recommendations.

• The tread and side wall must be free from large cuts, abrasions or bubbles
Belted bias ply type
Comparison of radial and Cross-ply Tyres

Advantages of radial ply Tyres:-


 The side walls can be bend readily ,its shock absorbing
capacity is 25% more than bias ply or cross ply.

 The breaker strips of radial Tyres act independently of


the wall plies unlike in cross ply where there is no
breaker strip.

 Lower rolling resistance and hysteresis loss leads to less


fuel consumption.
 Longer tread life because of less heat build in Tyre.

 Breaking efficiency on wet roads is better because of


greater sidewall flexibility and tread stiffness.

 Smaller slip angles and higher cornering power which


results in Better steering characteristics.

 While taking turns it has less tendency to distort and lift


off the road from one side.

 Larger resistance to punctures ,cuts and impacts in the


tread area.
