Advantages and disadvantages of vacuum tires and regular tiresIn the modern automotive industry, tires play a vital role as an important part of the car. Whereas, vacuum tires and regular tires are the two main types of tires.
Advantages of vacuum tires. Vacuum tires are more wear-resistant than ordinary pneumatic tires, and have better dynamic balance performance, which can improve driving comfort, make the vehicle more suitable for long-distance high-speed and long-term driving, vacuum tires and the ground contact surface is larger, deformation is also greater, these works are generating heat, so its good heat dissipation performance helps to maintain the temperature stability of tires in long-term driving. For truck drivers, the fuel consumption of vacuum tires can be reduced by about 3% due to the reduction of dead weight, and the reduction of fuel consumption of driving dead weight is an additional profit. The tubeless design of vacuum tires reduces the likelihood of punctures and enhances safety.
Vacuum tires also have their drawbacks. Once punctured and leaking, it is more troublesome to repair, and the repair cost is also higher, vacuum tires are not pressure-resistant and not suitable for overloading, and have poor stability when the road conditions are bad, such as on mountain roads or construction sites. Vacuum tires require special equipment for installation and maintenance.
In contrast, regular tires also have their advantages. Minor breakage does not cause immediate gas leakage and is easy to maintain. It is currently widely used in bicycles and large automobiles, and has demonstrated excellent durability and load-bearing capacity.
