In summary, there are no metal plates inside tires. Car tires have a steel hoop and a woven steel or fabric mesh belt under the running surface, while two wheelers have metal wires in their radial tires. This information can easily be found on Google.

Is it true that there are metal wires in the tires of two wheelers where as car tires come with metal plates inside them?

I don't know what you mean by metal plates, there are no metal plates inside a tyre. Car tyres will generally have a steel hoop (bead) to fix the rubber to the rim. They also have a flat 'belt' beneath the running surface, which is made from a woven steel or fabric mesh. This gives the tyre its shape, holds the sidewalls together, and widens the area over which the road load is spread.

Don't be bitter about getting no help from "the forum people", you gave it less than 30 minutes before you gave up. I just checked on Google and had the answers I've given you in less than 30 seconds.

i'm sorry if you felt my language was bitter.

i had been searching earlier and i was still confused. i always come here when I've looked around first, and I've never been disappointed.

probably, the steel mesh was what was described to me by a class mate as steel plate.
 

FAQ: Two-Wheelers vs Cars: Tire Anatomy Explained

What is the difference between the tires of a two-wheeler and a car?

The main difference between two-wheeler and car tires is their structure and size. Two-wheeler tires are smaller and thinner compared to car tires, which are larger and wider. Two-wheeler tires also have a different tread pattern and are designed to provide better grip and control for single-track vehicles.

Can two-wheeler tires be used on cars and vice versa?

No, two-wheeler and car tires are not interchangeable. They are specifically designed for the type of vehicle they are meant to be used on. Using the wrong type of tire can affect the handling, performance, and safety of the vehicle.

How do the different tire components affect the performance of two-wheelers and cars?

The tire components, such as tread pattern, rubber compound, and tire pressure, all play a crucial role in the performance of two-wheelers and cars. The tread pattern and rubber compound determine the grip and traction of the tire, while the tire pressure affects the handling and comfort of the vehicle.

What are the advantages of using tubeless tires on two-wheelers and cars?

Tubeless tires have become increasingly popular and offer several advantages for both two-wheelers and cars. They are less prone to punctures, provide better fuel efficiency, and offer a smoother and more comfortable ride compared to tires with tubes.

How often should tires be replaced on two-wheelers and cars?

Tires should be replaced on a regular basis to ensure optimal performance and safety. The lifespan of a tire depends on several factors such as usage, road conditions, and maintenance. It is recommended to replace tires every 5-6 years, even if they appear to have sufficient tread depth.
