Sr No. | Radial ply tyre | Cross ply tyre | Belted bias tyre |
---|---|---|---|
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 20$^\circ$ to 35$^\circ$ 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 |
