Tire ply composition and materialsPlies are layers of rubber-coa ted parallel cords. Cords are the strands which form the plies
in a tire.
Radial tires or bias-ply tiresA radial tire has “RADIAL” on the sidewall. A tire not marked “RADIAL” is a bias-ply tire.
TUBELESS or TUBE TYPEA tubeless tire does not have a tube and air is directly put into the tire. A tube type tire has a
tube inside the tire and the tube maintains the air pressure.
