As a rule, the peak damage to the tires as a result of the pit on the pits is on the second half of April-beginning of May, when the bulk of drivers are already, and the road services have not yet managed to put the roadbed of the road after the winter.
Finding into the pit, quickly and with a lot of power presses the sidewall of the tire to the edge of the pit, overbearing the frame of the frame or even the sidewall completely. If only the threads are damaged, then this leads to a swift on the sidewall ("Herge"). If the sidewall is blocked, the tire loses pressure, and if it does not stop on time, the tire will lose the sideline completely.
Breakdown tires
To reduce the risk of damage to the tire, consumers pay attention tomodels that have increased sidewall protection from destruction orbreakdown tires.
Sometimes, in the role of this sentence, you are trying to give the tires with an increased load index (designated as XL, Extraload, or ReinForced). However, this is just a common misconception, and the enlarged does not protect the tire from the sidewall break or damage to the tread during operation.
How else to find tires with a strong sidewall, which can reduce the risk of "hernia" or breaks? In a professional tire center, where you will be prompted by tire models that have in their arsenal technology, increasing the strength of the sidewalls.
Michelin tires with hard sidewall
On the example of MICHELIN tires, you can consider two examples of technologies that reduce the risk of tire damage:
double frame;
ironFlex technology.
The double frame is present in the majority (tires, and others). This technical solution makes it possible to control the car with greater accuracy, whose center of gravity is higher than that of a standard car. In addition, the use of two layers of textile frame increases the strength of the sidewall, making the tire with a stronger and resistant to negative impacts from the outside when entering the pit, intersection of tram tracks, etc.
IronFlex technology It is used exclusively and was developed in the Asian Technological Center for the Company.
The first tire, in which this technical solution was applied, was the tire. IronFlex technology provides increased strength and flexibility of the frameworks of the framework, which allows to reduce the risk of hernia or complete tire destruction at the outside of an extraneous subject or when entering the road jam. An important role also plays special durable bike sidewall constructionThrough which the peak load occurs at the moment of impact is quickly and evenly distributed over the entire structure of the sidewall.
Attention! All technologies that increase strength are not capable of protecting tires from damage to 100%. Since high speed, sharp edges of the pit, as well as low tire pressure can reduce all the most advanced engineering solutions to zero. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the speed in front of areas with a poor coating, smoothly undergo irregularities or rush them, as well as supporting it at the level recommended by the manufacturer.
In the intricacies of the technology of manufacturing bobbin tires, journalists of the autoportal were dealt.
Punching wheels at high speed can lead to an accident, and on a small - to an unexpected and unpleasant delay in the way. It is possible to avoid this so-called "busty" tires, the other name of which is RUNFLAT ("Movement on a Lessed Tire").
"Basic" tires are in the line of tires of many manufacturers:
- BF Goodrich - SSS Series (Self-Supporting Structure),
- Bridgestone - RFT Series (Runflattire),
- Continental - SSR (SELF Supporting Runflat), CSR (Conti Support Ring),
- DUNLOP - DSST (DUNLOP SELF-Supporting Technology),
- Firestone - RFT (Run Flat Tire)
- Goodyear - ROF,
- Kumho - XRP,
- Michelin - ZP (Zero Pressure),
- Nokian - RF (Run Flat)
- Pirelli - RFT (Run Flat Technology)
- Yokohama - RF (Run Flat).
"Basic" tires will allow you to get to the nearest tire (if it is below 80 km) at a speed of up to 80 km / h. To date, there are three types of technologies that allow the car to move after puncture tires:
- self-metric tires
- tires with reinforced sidewalls,
- support systems.
Self-metric tires
The most simple prolque protection. In such tires inside the tread, an additional sealant layer is placed, which "tightens" the hole formed during the cross.
Concern Continental offers Nailgard and Genseal's self-metation systems. At the same time, the cost of the tire with a sealant can only be 100-150 UAH. more than similar tires without sealing system.
Pros of self-metric tires
- Low cost (10-20% more expensive than "ordinary" tires).
- Maintainability.
Minuses of self-metric tires
- Self-chemicalization is impossible if the sidewall is damaged or with large cuts.
- On a wet road or frost sealing less efficient.
Stipped Side Tires
The possible mileage on the "punched" coverol is 80-250 km depending on the manufacturer of rubber and loading the car. The presence of a puncture in such tires may pass unnoticed, so the presence of a tire pressure control system is obligatory.
For the first time, such tires appeared in 1992 (Run-Flat Series from Goodyear). Today, tires with enhanced sidewalls are offered by most of the well-known manufacturers: BF Goodrich, Bridgestone, Dunlop, Michelin, Pirelli.
Tires with enhanced sidewalls are installed on premium cars and on armored models. The cost of such tires is 30-100% higher than the value of "ordinary" tires. For example, Goodyear F1 GS-D3 Run Flat will cost 2200 UAH. Bridgestone Dueler HL 400 bus will cost 1624 UAH., And with BRIDGESTONE Dueler HL 400 Run Flat, it will cost 2860 UAH.
Pluses of tires with reinforced sidewalls
- They are not afraid of serious damage (including damage to the sidewall).
- Mounted on a regular wheel drive.
Minuses of tires with reinforced sidewalls
- Requires the presence of air pressure control system in the tire and adapted suspension.
- Non-repair. Repair of the protector part of such tires allow goodyear (ROF and EMT series) and DUNLOP series (DSST series).
- Heavy and less comfortable.
Support systems
The principle of operation of such systems is to install inside the tires of the stiffness element, which assumes the load when the pressure drop in the tire. Metallic or plastic hoop is used as the stiffness element. In addition, specific wheels are required for mounting such tires.
Today, the tires with the insert ring produce Michelin (PAX series) and Continental (CSR series). Such tires are installed mainly on armored cars.
Along with the increasing temperature outside the window, the relevance of the issue on the seasonal reobeyclosure of the car is growing. Well, if in the garage or on the balcony, a set of summer tires for replacement is seized. Well, if not, the car owner will have to go into all the grave, immersed in the bunch of reviews and tests to choose its tire ideal. We tried to simplify this task, having prepared an overview of 47 models of summer tires 2019 from 17 brands available on the Russian market. We tell about their features, advantages and affordable sizes.
Bridgestone Turanza T005

Protector checkers are equipped with supports located near different angles, which makes them as stable as much as possible and contributes to the accuracy of the control. Special stones removers prevent their jams in the protective and increase the life of the tire. In the rubber mixture, the sidewalls are used aramid fibers, which makes this part of the tire with more resistant to cuts and damage, and the damage to the protector layer prevents the hybrid rubber mixture. The tire is represented in eight sizes with the planting diameters 16 and 17 inches and the speed index Q (up to 160 km / h).
Pirelli New P Zero
According to the developers, the new tire feature is the maximum stability even at the highest speeds. The technology, the essence of which lies in the use of a particularly rigid rubber mixture in the board zone, appeared due to the experience of the development and production of tires for the Formula 1 races. Such a solution provides the fastest and accurate response to work with the steering wheel without losing clutch in the transverse direction. The use of another special technology made it possible to make contact stain more flat, which contributes to greater wear uniformity and increasing the durability of the tire. The increased number of tread grooves, as well as the recess and expansion of the channels allowed a 10% increase in the volume of water allocated from the contact spot, which increased the tire resistance to the aquaplaning. A special pattern of the tread also made it possible to reduce the noise level published by the tire when driving. A number of new solutions used in the development and production of the tire allowed 15% to reduce the resistance to rolling, which significantly affects fuel efficiency. Today, under the same name P Zero produces several different from the technical point of view of tire options, and each of these options is designed for a specific type of car. For machines with more pronounced sports characteristics, P Zero Sport Car with a less relief protector (photo on the left), the second version of P Zero Luxury Saloon (photo on the right) is more suitable for luxury sedans.

Compared to the predecessor, the Open Country A / T model, the tire has an updated composition of the rubber mixture, the design of the tread and sidewalls, which made it possible to improve most of the characteristics of the predecessor (handling on dry and wet road, acoustic comfort, rolling resistance coefficient). The model is suitable for operation both in urban conditions and for light off-road. By this season, the number of tire sizes has increased significantly - there are now 60 with the landing diameters from 15 to 20 inches.
Toyo Proxes Sport
This Toyo Tires model provides key requirements for tires with powerful cars drivers: High speed control and clutch on a wet road. The developers of Toyo Tires tried to provide these characteristics without prejudice to indicators such as dynamic comfort and tires. When developing Proxes Sport to optimize the rubber mixture, Nano Balance technology was used. It allows you to simulate and analyze the interaction of the mixture components at nano-level and mix the components with high accuracy. As a result, it turns out a more elastic, wear-resistant mixture and decreases the tire rolling resistance. The construction of the tire is also designed using the most advanced technologies, which, in combination with the optimized pattern of the tread, provide a clearer control. This season, the tire is available in the widest range of sizes with landing diameters from 17 to 20 inches.
Toyo Proxes Sport SUV
These UHP class sports tires are designed for urban SUVs and crossovers. Key requirements for this class of cars do not differ from those that are declared for the entire Proxes Sport line, are the controllability at high speed and grip on the wet road, but without prejudice to the comfort and information indicators. In the design of the tread, solutions are used as rounded edges of the edges (it allows you to evenly distribute the pressure in the contact spot), the blocks of the original shape (improved controllability and clutch), the ribs with an increased amount of lamellas on the inside of the tread (improvement of traction properties on the wet road and level decline Noise), rigid ribs on the outer side of the tread (high grip and stability in turns). Durable frame and rigid tire design also contribute to the tire stability when performing maneuvers, and the special composition of the rubber sidewall mixture increases the rigidity and promotes fuel efficiency. The tire is represented in a large range of sizes with plant diameters from 17 to 20 inches.
TOYO TRANPATH MPZ.
To design a tire tread pattern to the Toyo Tires developers, the T-MODE computer simulation technology was applied, and the composition of the rubber mixture was developed using the original Nano Balance technology - the solution that allowed to reduce the rolling resistance, improve braking on wet road and comfort, to increase wear resistance. The latter is also ensured by the design of the tread. Among the constructive features of Tranpath MPZ original 3D lamellas (prevent uneven tread wear and increase the stability of blocks when braking and maneuvering), Cord layers wrapped around the onboard ring and highly overlooking the brachial zone (high speed course stability), corrugated walls of the grooves (The high-frequency noise from the tread is reduced). The tire is represented in 41 samples with planting diameters from 14 to 18 inches.
Viatti Strada Asimmetrico.
A tire with an asymmetric pattern of a tread, which gives it a high level of controllability and braking properties both on dry and wet coating, as well as promoting stability both when moving in direct and maneuvering. The original solution is the variable stiffness of the sidewall, achieved due to the addition of the patented co-synthesis product into the rubber mixture. This technology allows the tire to adapt to the state of the road leaf, softening strikes on a broken road and increasing the stiffness of the sidewall when driving at high speed. Wide longitudinal grooves (with different widths on the outer and inner sides) effectively remove water from the contact spot, and the transverse grooves accelerate the water removal, increasing the aquaplaning threshold. The outer and inner part of the tread due to the rigid massif of rubber in the shoulder zone provide good handling. Temperature range of buses - from 2 to 55 ° C, in the range 31 is a sizewinter with landing diameters from 13 to 18 inches.
VIATTI BOSCO A / T
A tire with a symmetric pattern of a tread, intended for crossovers and SUVs. EX-PLATTI VIATTI BOS-CO A / T is focused on light off-road and country roads. As in the Viatti Strada Asim-Metrico model, the technology of the sidewall rigidity variable is used here, based on the original composition of the rubber mixture. Four longitudinal grooves quickly remove water from the contact spot, which contributes inhomogeneous geometry and pointed forms of central checkers, effectively breaking the water surface. The transverse grooves of different geometry, located in the central zone of the tread, and the lamella of the original shape reduce the noise from the tire when moving. The tread pattern has a rigid central edge and reinforced longitudinal rows of checkers, which ensures high stability of movement in direct and the ability to make high speed maneuvers. Wide transverse grooves in the shoulder zones together with special primers between the lamellas of the shoulder checkers increase the permeability. The design of the carcass of the tire contributes to its stability even with active driving. Depending on the profile width, the BOSCO A / T line tires have two variants of the tread pattern - in the bus width from 215 mm there is an additional rigidity edge. The range of the tires includes 21 samples with landing diameters from 15 to 18 inches.

Variation of tread blocks allows you to minimize sound resonance, which helps to ensure a high level of acoustic comfort.
Yokohama BlueArth RV-02
A tire with an asymmetrical pattern of a tread, designed for modern crossovers and minivans. Optimized Tread Figure Bluearth RV-02 model contributes to a uniform pressure distribution when the tires with the surface of the road, which provides a high level of controllability. The rigid double edge of the inner part of the tire and the powerful part of the shoulder zone provide stability during maneuvering, and the grooves in the central part of the tread are effectively disassembled water, reducing the risk of aquaplamination. The shoulder area has a drawing in the form of a golf ball, which creates an aerodynamic effect that reduces the noise published by the tire when driving and boosting acoustic comfort.
Yokohama BlueArth-Van Ry55
The tire is designed for owners of light trucks, vans and pickups. The Bluearth-Van Ry55 model protector with a wide profile has increased rigidity and strength, which prevents uneven wear of the tire and extends its service life. The combination of deep transverse grooves and lamellae, as well as wide longitudinal grooves, not only contribute to the effective taping of water from the tire contact spot with an expensive, preventing the effect of aquaplaning, but also improve braking characteristics on a wet surface. The variability of the tread blocks not only prevents uneven wear, but also improves acoustic comfort.
Yokohama Geolandar M / T GOO3
Tire for frames and pickups. It has a wide-profile protector, the drawing of which continues on the sidewall, which improves the tire's passability in off-road conditions. The three-layer construction of the tire increases its resistance to side cuts, and the nylon tape under the protector layer increases the lastness of the latter. The optimized location of the tread checkers improves the grip on the complex road surface. The tire design also involves protecting wheel rim from damage.
Yokohama Geolandar X-CV G057
Tire with an asymmetrical pattern of tread for premium and sports crossovers. The wide grooves in the central part of the tread efficiently remove the water from the tire contact spot with the road. The combination of 2D- and 3D lamella allows both to improve the grip on the dry and wet coating, and increase the tire's value. Silicon dioxide microparticles (silica) in a rubber tread mixture provide stable characteristics on a dry coating, and silica linked polymers improve tire indicators on a wet road. In addition, the use of polymers reduces the overheating of the tire, which helps to reduce rolling resistance. Thanks to the variation of the tread blocks, the sound resonance is reduced, which leads to an increase in acoustic comfort.

A tire with a symmetric pattern of a tread, having a high roads-off-road and intended for specially trained pickups, SUVs and crossovers. The tread pattern is an "integrated" image of a natural stone. The brine on the sidewalls of the tires and grooves in the tread blocks provide the tire additional possibilities when the off-road movement.
Tires are responsible for the quality of the clutch with the road, for the increase in comfort when driving. Often drivers use reinforced tires. We'll figure it out that they represent what features of operation are.
What is the feature of reinforced tires
All tires with reinforced sidewall have about the same design, allowing to carry large loads. Technically, the design reduces the risk of damage to the tire at the occasion of obstacles.
For a greater understanding of the situation, it is worth considering why the tire is damaged. If the wheel runs on the obstacle or a hole, the disk pursues the sidewall. The situation occurs quickly and with great effort, as a result, the rim actually refills the cord walking on the sidewall.
To protect against such an XL problem, the tires have a reinforced frame. The strengthening method depends on the technical features of the tire, and its purpose. In the simplest variant, the rubber has two layers of Cord on the side of the sides. Another more reliable method is the use of a diagonal design on the sidewalls. This method is most effective, even if the side of the auto stroke damage it can be repaired and used.
For greater reliability, the cord is made from reinforced polymeric threads. They better tolerate loads. They are difficult to refine them. Polymers provide sufficient elasticity.
In addition to the entire productions listed during production, another, more rigid rubber mixture is used. It also allows you to enhance the reliability of the tire. Sometimes the protector is modified, but this factor is not the main and mandatory.
Operational Features of Enhanced Rubber
Strengthened sidewall must withstand the load that the car creates, it has to pay increased rigidity. As a result, riding the car equipped with such autoresina is less comfortable, it devastates small blows from the passage of irregularities.
The use of tires with a reinforced board does not guarantee a complete absence of damage. It is not necessary to consider such a tire an invulnerable, when driving, observe the precautions.
Among other things, all tires having reinforced elements always weigh more conventional tires. Cause in additional cord and more dense rubber. This creates an increased suspension load.
We list the main advantages that similar autoresina has.
- Increased safety. The risk damage the tire is less.
- The bus is resistant to deformation, the likelihood of damage to the wheels is reduced.
- In turning the car is more stable. This indicates the improvement of courseworthy and manageability.
- Typically, such rubber has an enlarged speed index.
- The fuel consumption is reduced. Bus has less rolling resistance.
For which cars are suitable
It is necessary to understand, rubber with enhanced sidewalls is intended for certain cars. Install her, for example, on Daewoo Matiz is useless. We list the vehicles most suitable for such tires.
- Cars intended for high speeds. The sports car can accelerate to 270 km / h. Ordinary rubber at such speeds with more probability quickly breaks, and the reinforced sidewall protects against damage.
- SUV. Reliable rubber is an important element of off-road trips. During such trips, it is often necessary to drive on various obstacles, the sidewall must be normally protected from damage.
- If you just often leave in places with poor-quality expensive. Then problems with rubber will have a little, it will serve longer.
How to find out that the tire has a reinforced sidewall
It is important to know how to distinguish such a tire. For this there is a special marking. It complements the size and indicate immediately after the speed index. In rare cases, the marking may be indicated separately, usually around the circle of the side.
When labeling in a sizer, two Latin letters XL are added there. An inscription "EXTRA LOAD" may be indicated on board. It is completely identical to the labeling in the sizes.
Separately, it is worth mentioning what XL means. In fact, this is an indication that the load index increases by 3 units. That is, if the bus indicates the index - 97, if there is an additional marking, the permissible load will be equal to index 100.
Tires with reinforced sidewalls are reliable and stable in difficult conditions. But they have their own features of operation. This must be taken into account, do not purchase them for trips around the city.
