Good question. First you should understand that not all tires do, many are solid, some have nitrogen instead of air. Automobile tires were once usually solid, but the pneumatic tire (tyre) was a far more comfortable ride, and it was lighter and cheaper.

Explain why do bus tires can greatly increase when traveling over along distance at high speed?

When a bus covers long distances at high speeds, the tires heat up as the rubber expands with each revolution. This regular flexing generates internal friction, which produces heat within the tyre. As the temperature rises, the air trapped within expands and causes the tyre pressure to rise considerably. High load, long journey time, and road resistance increase stress, pushing temperatures even higher. If not monitored, this can accelerate tyre wear or reduce performance. These factors highlight why proper inflation and maintenance are essential for long-route operations, as seen in the Truck & Bus Bias tyres offered by Birla Tyre.


Are tyres congruent?

Tyres are not congruent; they are typically designed with specific dimensions and tread patterns that vary based on the vehicle type and intended use. While some tyres may have similar shapes or sizes, factors like width, diameter, and tread design lead to differences that affect performance and compatibility. Therefore, each tyre is uniquely engineered to meet particular performance and safety standards.


How many feet to stop car at 70 mph?

One - which needs to be on the brake pedal! Apart from the car's speed, the stopping distance will depend on the mass of the car, the condition of the brakes, the condition of the tyres - the air pressure and tread, the road condition, the driver's response.

Why are tyres filled of air in a car?

Tyres are filled with air to provide a cushion of support, which helps absorb shocks and impacts from the road, improving ride comfort and stability. The air pressure creates a barrier that maintains the tyre's shape, allowing for better traction and handling. Additionally, properly inflated tyres enhance fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance. Overall, air-filled tyres contribute to safer and more efficient driving.

When a driver pumps up the tyres of a car. More air particles are put inside the tyres. What will happen to the pressure inside the tyres?

Increasing the number of air particles in the tires by pumping them up will increase the pressure inside the tires. This is because there are more particles colliding with the walls of the tires, resulting in a higher pressure.

Can you mix air and nitrogen in tires?

Air is 78% nitrogen, and most tyres are inflated with air, so mixing pure nitrogen with air would not be a problem.
