The cord direction of carcass is perpendicular with the center line. Strong belt improves speeding and driving safety.
The cord direction of carcass is at an angle of about 35 degrees from the tire’s center line.
RADIAL | BIAS | |
---|---|---|
Pattern | ||
Structure | Carcass + steel belt : perpendicular with the driving direction | Many carcasses cross-passing each other |
Durability | Absence of intervention among carcasses results in low release of heat and improved durability | The carcasses intervene each other, resulting in release of much heat and aging. |
Wear Resistance | The tread part is sustained by belt made of steel. As a result, this tire has strong wear resistance. | Unable to sustain tread part. Wear resistance not good due to fluctuation. |
Comfort | Thin and flexible side wall absorbs shock. Great driving comfort. | Thick side wall relays shock without any absorption. |
Economy | 1.5~2 times compared to the bias | Little wear resistance causes frequent loading and unloading. Economy vs. price is low. |

Balance | Superb balance thanks to the absence of imbalance stemming from tube, flap, and, fixed ring. | Low balance due to imbalance among many parts and the folding of tube. |
Weight | Reduction of weight and improvement of combustion rate by using tire and rim only. | Use of tube and flap increases weight. |
