All about Rubber Tyres
Rubber tyres are the outer layer of wheels that grip the road and absorb bumps. Vulcanised rubber made tyres strong and durable.
Charles Goodyear helped discover vulcanisation.
The tread pattern on a tyre helps it channel water away and keep the car stable. Tyres must be kept at the right pressure to stay safe and last longer.
Today's tyres are made from many materials, and they are designed to be strong, grippy and comfortable.
