Radial Tire

A steel gordelband or radial tire is a pneumatic tyre for vehicles that owes its name to the construction.

The radial tire is by this construction actually weaker than the diagonal band. However, use of this is to get a better handling and to obtain a better road contact. The radial tire deforms a lot more while taking turns, allowing the tread better contact with the road.

To the rigidity in the tread range boost is a-mostly from steel wires made-extra "belt" placed under the tread, whereby the name steel gordelband has. ==Application[ Edit] == The radial tyre has initially only at passenger's service done. Truck's and motorcycles have little application for a band that is easily deformed. However, also these vehicles nowadays almost without exception equipped with radial tires. This has to do with the improvements that have been made to the principle. A part of the "distort problem" is solved by applying more plies and a higher tire pressure. ==Comparison with the diagonal band<span class="mw-editsection" len="351" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===Benefits<span class="mw-editsection" len="327" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ===Disadvantages<span class="mw-editsection" len="325" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ===
 * The radial tyre has not cross each other, because the cord layers, low internal friction and is therefore less warm than the diagonal band.
 * Is directionally stable
 * More comfortable by the softer cheeks
 * Also the hard tread is less warm and wear less
 * The rolling resistance is lower and thereby also the fuel economy
 * The hard running surface causes more sound
 * By the steel belt are small bumps less well processed
 * The soft cheeks are vulnerable, especially on heavy vehicles that regularly a "pavement edge music", such as city buses. However, tires with reinforced cheeks are available.
