Key Takeaways
A tire refers to a thick piece of rubber which is filled with air and is fitted around the outer edge of the wheel of a vehicle. It enables heavy and light vehicles (including two-wheelers) to travel on the road smoothly. It supports the weight of the vehicle and its load, allows it to travel/change directions, and transmits the force of braking and acceleration towards the ground to stop the vehicle.
Evolving consumer demand has prompted tire companies to manufacture puncture-resistant tires, which deliver exceptional performance in versatile road conditions. Self-sealing tires, which have a sticky substance to seal punctures with a diameter of up to 1 / 4 inches, are also witnessing high demand.
