Distinguish among radial ply, cross ply & belted bias types tyres

1 Answer

Answer :

Sr. No.
Radial ply tyre
Cross ply tyre
Belted bias Type 
1 Plies are running radially straight from bead to bead
Piles are running diagonally opposite from bead to bead.
The basic construction is like the bias-ply but for strengthening belt plies are added in the tread area the cord in belt run at an angle of 20o to 35o to the centre line of tire tread 
2 Stiffness of tyre is less, so it gives ultimate comfort at high speed.
Stiffness of tyre is more, so less comfortable.
Stiffness of tyre is moderate 
3 Steering is harder.
Steering is easy. 
Steering is moderate
4 Tyre has firm grip with road.
Tyre has lesser grip with road. 
holds the tyre flatter thus provides good grip and safety
5 Radial ply tyre has more tread life.
Cross ply tyre has less tread life.
Belted bias tyre has more life than radial & cross ply tyres 
6 More braking grip.
Less braking grip. 
More braking grip
7 Costlier than cross ply tyre
Cheaper than radial ply tyre.
Costlier than radial ply & cross ply tyre
