How Much Does A Tyres weigh

      How Much Does A Tyres weigh

Introduction of blog:

usually we use and see different different vehicle in our daily life. size, material and other parameters can be different different for tyres and therefore there is no any certain weight of tyres. If you will search on the E-Commerce websites. you will find a lot of tyres with their weight and models if you go on these websites to search tyres weight. you will have to compare tyres with their weights by jumping on the different different browser tabs and I know it's very hard to do. 

the weight of the tires depend on various factors. the average passenger volume is one of them we can understand this factor by following given list:

Average passenger car tyres weight: 20 to 22 pound

Tenuous truck tyres weight: around 35 pound

Semi- truck Tyres weight: 105 to 110 pound

Tyre for weight reduction

If we are talking about the technology "ENLITEN" is a new technology for tyre weight reduction. This technology is developed by Bridgestone. This technology reduces weight without affecting durability and and with the lower rolling resistance. By this technology we can reduce on average 20% comparison to us standard premium summer touring tyre for rolling resistance of a passenger vehicle.

Bridgestone is going to announce partnership that we'll see ENLITEN technology used in products in Europe market.

The most manufacturers of us try to reduce the weight of tires. It gives a lot of good benefits like better driving comfort and longest suspension lifespan. Tyres weight reducing gives a few considerable benefits. FB are looking on the benefits the most important one is reduction in the rolling resistance with gives lower fuel consumption rate to a vehicle. Tyre for weight reduction helps in better performance, lower costs of production and their material. 

:- There are some other methods used to reduce the weight of tires like:

reducing some individual component like tepered, bending, tread tyre front etc to reduce weight.

By using some light materials ( e.g steel or textile cords made of light weight fibres.

Make some concepts to make lighter tyre construction.

How to categorise the weight of a passenger . 

Well we have talked about tires weight yet. We know that car tyres vary ine type size and other parameters. There's a good way to categorise Tyre's weight. 

A much better way to categorise tire's weight is to use the numbers which is marked on the tire's side wall. This is not only for checking tires weight. Tires sidewall marking helps to know about brand,size and model of your tire. 

I've given here some besic side wall marking. It'll be helpful to understand about them:

155/70 R13: Tire normally weighs 6.5kg

185/70 R13: Tire weighs more than 7kg

175/65 R14: Tire weighs b/w 6.5kg and 7.2kg

195/65 R15: Tire weighs between 8.2 and 9kg

Truck Tyres

we all have seen trucks and their tires and it's obvious that truck tires weight heavier than passenger car tyres. As we know that a truck has to lift much weight more than a passenger car. It needs to face abuse more than passenger car. Therefore a truck faces a lot of problems in compare with a passenger car.

That's why an average passenger car tire weighs less than an average truck tire. Apart from this reading off between 20 and 22 pounds on the weight scale most typical Tyres wait north of 30 kg. Some of them wait as much as 80 kg.

This multiformity in the weight of tyres is only because of different sizes of trucks. Wheels of 24-inch are the heaviest and weigh close to 80kgs. Middle size truck tires, 22.5-inch size wheel, generally weigh will be 60kg. Miniature truck tires, like underneath pickups, weigh will be approximately 35kg.

To summarize what we have just said:

17-inch truck tires: Weigh close to 35 kg

5-inch truck tires: Weigh approximately 60 kg

24-inch truck tires: Weigh close to 80 kg

The most asked questions which might have come in our mind:

Question: why do tires weight so much?

Answer: to get a perfect answer for this question we have to understand some important things and know about component which are used to make a tyre.

Like casing, tread, tyre belts, tyre supra, tyre sidewall, grooves, tyre shoulder, tyre inner liner, tyre bead, tyre body plies and tyre bead.

A. Tire Belts

Belt of a tire is a rubber coated layers of Steel, fiberglass, rayon and other materials. This is located between the trade and flies crisscrossing at angles, hold the plies in place. This part helps to protect a tyre from puncture and trade stay flat and in contact with the road.

B. Tire Sipes

There are special threads inside the trade. It helps to improve traction on wet, dirty, sandy, or snowy road surfaces.

C. Tire Tread

It is the part of the tire that touches the road. It's a black colour part of a tyre. 

D. Tire Grooves

Basically grooves aur not a a component of a tyre. But it's a very important part of a tyre. Its a structure which is designed on the tyre. It allows water to escape effectively.

E. Tire Shoulder

Tire shoulder is a outer edge of the tread. it wraps into the sidewall area.

F. Tire Sidewall

The sidewall prevents air from escaping. It also keep the plies body protected. 

For example a tire size of 215/65R16 indicates it has a section width of 215mm (nominal), 65 an aspect ratio of 65% (ratio of tire sidewall height) and 16 inches the rim diameter the tire can be fitted.

G. Tire Inner Liner

Tire inner liner is helps to prevent air from penetrating layer. It is located in a tubeless tire. It's a innermost layer in tubeless tire.

H. Tire Bead 

Tire bead is a rubber-coated loop. It has a high-strength steel cable. It allows a tire to stay "seated" on a rim.

I. Tire Body PliesIt's also an another important part of a tyre. Besicly plies give strength to a tyre. It's also helpful in resistance so that tyre can be keep protect from road damage. Body Plies is made up with several things linke polyester cord. Body Plies the tire itself.

J. Tire Casing: tire casing is also known as the body of the tire, the tire casing combines multiple components including sidewall (it's useful for the tire to make a weather resistance), bead (it secures the tire to the wheel), body ply (that improves the strength of the tire rubber) and the inner liner.

So now we have understood that to make a tyre we use a lot things. All components have their certain weight. When we start to make a tyre. We'll use all the components which are mentioned here. The weights of all components will be combined. That's why the tyre weighs too much.

Conclusion:

So there's no any certain number that reveals the weigh of a tyre. Because we know that the weigh of a Tyre depends on a lot of factors. Like a passenger car tyre weight can be 10kg apart from this a monster truck tyre weight can Abe approximately 400kg.
