Yahoo Autos Please, Learn More Than You Ever Thought You Needed to Know About Tires
If you're a frequent reader of this website, you probably understand a good deal about tires, but there's always more to learn. Australian tire seller Tyroola, which previously made a great guide on forced induction, breaks down everything you need to know on a helpful new site filled with lovely animations.
First, there's a breakdown of four main tire types–all-season, 4x4, competition, and performance–which delves into the different tread compounds and grove patterns used. If you've ever wondered about the fundamental differences between, say, tires that are good on dirt vs. tires that are good on a race track, this will clear things up.
Tyroola also explains the primary reasons why tires wear out, and how you can increase their longevity. The latter seems to run contrary to Tyroola's tire-selling buisness, but hey, their loss is our gain. There's also an exploration into tweels, the airless, deformable tires of the future.
Even if you're an expert on tire technology, Tyroola's page is worth checking out for the animations alone. If you're not an expert though, it's especially worth your time.
