Understanding Tyre vs Tire: Key Differences Explained

Bias ply tyres are made with layers of the fabric cords stacked at angles (typically 30 - 45 degrees) to each other. This construction allows them to be geared towards light-duty usage and older vehicles while also being puncture resistant and capable of sudden impacts. They are strong, cost-effective, and maintain good structural integrity. However, they do have higher rolling resistance which decreases fuel economy, and are less comfortable than radial tyres. Their simple design proves to be efficient for easy transportation.
