03 Tyre Construction

The document compares the construction of bias ply and radial tires. Bias ply tires have alternating cord plies running from bead to bead at angles, while radial tires have a single radial casing ply with cords running straight across at 90 degrees from the center of the wheel. Radial tires also have a stabilizing steel belt around the tread area that bias ply tires lack.
