The wheels&tyres that are used in vehicle such as cars, bicycles, and trucks come under the category of Pneumatic tires.

The quality to tyres greatly depends on the materials used. The car tyres generally falls in the category of cheap and expensive tyres.

The qualities of cheap and expensive car tires:

These include more tread areas that allows water to escape from under the tire easily, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. Some of them may consist of high percentage of silica and natural rubber and are soft when compared to synthetic rubber tires thus providing a better grip. Some of them are provided with metal studs to improve grip and hence minimizes the risk of skidding of vehicles.

Advantages of expensive car tires over cheap car tires:
