3. Introduction
Fig No:- 1
A tire is a thick piece of rubber which is fitted onto the wheels of vehicles such as cars, buses, and bicycles.
Tires provide traction between the vehicle and the road while providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock.
Tires are a very important part of your vehicle. This is what gives you your suspension, handling, load carrying capacity, lets vehicle roll smoothly. Think of how many revolutions a tire undergoes in it’s lifetime.

4. Types of tire All-terrain Tire Run-Flat Tires
These tires (fig 2) provide good performance on most road surfaces, in most weather conditions, and for off-road driving. The tread pattern on these tires may wear more quickly than others.
Fig No:- 2
Run-Flat Tires
These tires (fig 2) can be driven on with no air pressure. and to enable the vehicle to continue to be driven at reduced speeds 89 km/h.
Fig No:- 3
All-Season Tires
These tires (fig 4) offer good overall performance on most road surfaces and in most weather conditions.
Fig No:- 4

5. Types of tire Summer-Only Tires Snow/Winter Tires Performance Tires
These tires have a special tread and compound that are optimized for maximum dry- and wet-road performance.
Fig No:- 5
Snow/Winter Tires
These tires are designed for increased traction on snow- and ice-covered roads.
Fig No:- 6
Performance Tires
These tires are designed for enhanced handling under demanding circumstances and generally have high-speed ratings with a low aspect ratio for improved control. These tires are not built for winter conditions.

6. Types of tire Universal Tires have dual directional arrows
Fig No:- 8
Can have a dual directional arrow showing which way to mount the tire for front or rear fitment.

13. CONCLUSION
The tire has a key role to play, as it is the only point of contact between the vehicle and the road. It involves designing tires which do not make any sacrifices thanks to leading technologies. With tires, drivers get safety, driving pleasure, fuel savings and longevity. All at the same time with no trade off.
