According to the tire uses to points, for example in China national standards of the United States of America tire, tire rim Handbook, the European tyre and rim standards, the Japanese tyre standards and international tyre standard are classified to use, can be divided into the following types:

1) Car tire

Is installed in car tire, it is mainly used for high-speed road, above the maximum speed up to 200 km / h, requirements of ride comfort, low noise, has excellent maneuverability and stability. Most of the radial structure of the tire structure. Divided into different series according to the speed of the requirements, common in standard and manual in 95, 88 series of bias tire, 80, 75, 70, 65 series of radial tire.

2) light truck tires

Usually refers to the rim diameter of 16 inches and the following section width 9 inches and above the truck tyre. This kind of tyre is driven on the road, the speed can be up to 80 ~ 100km/h.

3) truck and bus tires.

Usually refers to the rim diameter of 18 to 24 inches wide and 7 inches and above, section of the truck, dump truck, all kinds of special and truck tire. The road is more complex, with good road, also have poor gravel road, dirt road, the muddy road, snow road, or even no road conditions, speed is generally not more than 110km/h.

4) engineering machinery tyre

Engineering machinery tyre is engineering machinery vehicle mounted in special operations, such as loaders, bulldozers, excavators, land leveling machine, roller and stone working machine etc.. Speed is not high, but the use of road conditions and load demanding performance requirements. Tire mainly uses the bias tire structure, but as the French Michelin company also uses the radial structure. From the tire section width can be classified into the standard tire and wide-base tire two series.

5) cross-country car tire

Off-road vehicle is front and rear wheel drive. Cross-country car tire main driving on the bad road such as desert, muddy, loose soil or other road, the requirement of tire has higher performance, off-road tires tend to use low pressure, and some also use pressure tires, tire pressure to adjust the size according to the road conditions. In order to improve cross-country through, generally use the widening tire and rim width, and the lower rim diameter and other measures, so as to increase the grounding area and reduce the earth pressure. Tire structure except the bias tire structure, with radial structure.

6) agricultural and forestry machinery tyre

Agricultural tires are primarily used on tractors, combine harvesters and other agricultural vehicles. Forestry machinery tires mounted on forestry tractors and machinery for forestry, the forestry felling, skidding, shovel and mining operations, the characteristics of two kinds of tire is running speed is not high, but the use of harsh conditions, often travel to the path of the field in poor condition and hard stubble or stone road, even without Road, the tire can be scratched or cut. Another feature is the intermittent operation, short mileage, but use period is longer, so the requirement of tire has good resistance to flex cracking resistance and aging properties. The tire with a skew structure, but also the use of radial structure.

7) industrial tire

Mainly used in tire, semi solid tire and solid tire industry vehicle.

Divided battery car tire, forklift tire and car tires.

8) Motorcycle tire

For motorcycle tyres. Including motorcycle tires, light motorcycle tires and scooter motorcycle tire.

9) Aircraft tire

Pneumatic tire for aircraft.

10) Special vehicle tire

Including artillery, tank, armored car tire, vehicle tyre explosion-proof desert.

11) force car tire

Pneumatic tire for bicycle, tricycle and trolleys.

2, according to the structure classification

1), bias tire carcass ply layer: general and radial was 48-55 ° angle, two adjacent ply mutually staggered into Sui shape.

2), radial tire: fundamental differences of meridian tire and tire is carcass cord angle and radial into zero, cord adjacent layers but not intersecting parallel to each other.

3, according to season classification:

1), summer tyres

2), winter tire

3), all-weather tires
