Bias Angle versus Radial Ply versus Bias Belted Tires — Materials and Construction Comparisons

The bias belted and radial tire concepts offer advancement in tire performance which cannot be met with the conventional bias tire. A review of the materials and construction of a conventional bias tire is included as a direct comparison to the materials and construction features of the radial and bias belted tires. A brief history of the evolution of tire materials is also given.
