Tires

Tires are the rubber parts of a vehicle that touch the road and help it grip, turn, and stop.

How It Works

Tires are usually filled with air and made from rubber, fabric, and steel cords. Tread patterns help push water away and improve grip.

Why It Matters

Tire pressure matters for safety and fuel use. Different tires are made for summer, winter, racing, trucks, and off-road driving.
