Tyre, an air-filling rubber ring, is a very important component of a vehicle. It is commonly mounted on the rim of a car wheel. The main functions of a car, such as - stopping, turning, and moving, without slipping or skidding, are fulfilled by the tyres. Tyres are usually made up of rubber compounds. However, modern car tyres incorporate compounds like fabric, synthetic rubber, carbon black, etc. Tyres are used to offer excellent traction and grip to the vehicle and transfer its weight load to the ground.
There are many types of tyres available to fulfil several different requirements of the consumer. For instance, summer tyres are used in the hot weather to provide better grip and traction on both dry and wet roads, high-performance tyres are best suited to vehicles like sports cars and sedans. Another interesting tyre type is the run-flats that are designed to sustain a puncture and let you continue driving up to 50 miles at a maximum speed of 50 mph so that you can reach the nearby garage and get the flat-tyre repaired or replaced.

Functions of Tyres
Here's a list of functions that tyres perform that keep you comfortable and safe on the road.
Absorb shocks - Irregularities on the roads like bumps, cracks, potholes, etc. cause a bumpy and uncomfortable driving experience. Good quality tyres which are in their optimal condition deliver a smoother ride. The suspension system, wheels, shock absorbers, etc. of the car gets adversely affected by road imperfections. And, tyres are the ones that absorb and dampen those road shocks.
Carry vehicle load - The compressed air filled in the tyres is responsible for carrying the vehicle's weight. When the vehicle is turning, accelerating, braking, or moving forward, its weight moves around the roll centre of the tyre. The ability of weight-bearing depends on the inflation pressure of the tyre. Hence, tyres are required to be filled with adequate air pressure, as mentioned in the user's manual, it helps in providing good handling and traction competence to the car.
Propelling the vehicle - Mechanics of the tyre are different on wet roads and dry roads. A tyre has to go through a lot to drive the vehicle in the direction you want. So, they must have a good tread depth, helping them in providing better grip on the roads and moving the vehicle without sliding or skidding.
Change and maintain directions - Depending on the steering wheel, the tyres of the car change their direction. This enables the car to move in your desired direction. Tyres are the only link a vehicle has with the road surface and it helps the vehicle to remain stable when turning or braking. A vehicle's stability depends on various factors including the tyre's tread depth, quality, tread pattern, quality, and inflation pressure.
Transmit braking forces and acceleration to the ground - Most often, the performance of a car is judged on the basis of its acceleration, handling, braking, and cornering. But, the fact is that the tyres are the ones that are responsible for all these functions and getting the best performance out of the car. The tyre produces and transmits the forces like braking, cornering, and acceleration to the road surface. The friction between the ground and the tyres is what transmits the pressure to the ground.
