What Makes Pneumatic Tires Special?

The construction of pneumatic tires, as the name suggests, is straightforward: the air-filled tire consists of a flexible outer casing that encloses the air, along with an inner tube. The inner tube maintains the tire's air pressure, creating an ideal balance of stability and flexibility. Unlike PU wheels or solid rubber tires, pneumatic tires do not provide puncture protection but offer significantly higher driving comfort thanks to superior shock absorption.

The Advantages of Pneumatic Tires

The high popularity of pneumatic tires is primarily due to their excellent shock absorption, superior driving comfort, and adaptability. These features make them suitable for a wide range of applications:

  • Gentle on Sensitive Surfaces: Pneumatic tires are designed to protect delicate surfaces like wooden floors or lawns, as their air pressure can adapt to minimize impact.
  • Effective Shock Absorption: Thanks to their natural cushioning effect, pneumatic tires efficiently absorb shocks and vibrations.
  • Excellent Traction and Grip: Their adaptable tread patterns provide exceptional grip on various surfaces, including rough terrains and smooth floors.
  • Low Rolling Resistance: Pneumatic tires are designed to minimize friction, reducing rolling resistance and making movement more efficient with less effort.
  • Lightweight Design: Compared to solid rubber or polyurethane tires, pneumatic tires are lighter, making them easier to handle and reducing the effort required for propulsion.

Applications of Pneumatic Tires

Pneumatic tires are used both indoors and outdoors. Their adaptability and smooth riding properties make them indispensable across various industries.

Warehouse Logistics

In warehouse logistics, pneumatic tires are used on transport trolleys and carts. Their shock-absorbing properties ensure that even fragile goods can be transported safely.

Agriculture

Wheelbarrows, mowers, and agricultural machinery require maneuverability and traction. Pneumatic tires are commonly used in fields and gardens to meet these demands.

Horticulture

Specialized gardening tools benefit from lightweight and flexible pneumatic tires, ensuring gentle and efficient operation even on delicate surfaces.

A Versatile Selection of Pneumatic Tires at ROLKO

As an experienced tire manufacturer, Rolko places particular emphasis on tread patterns, as these contribute to the many benefits and applications of pneumatic tires. Our range includes several tread types optimized for specific uses and surfaces:

Ribbed Tread

The ribbed tread is one of the most common patterns for pneumatic tires. It offers a balanced combination of traction and low rolling resistance, making it ideal for hard surfaces and everyday transport tasks.

Street Tread

Designed for smooth and paved surfaces, the street tread ensures stable road grip. It’s perfect for applications in urban logistics and traffic areas, enabling a smooth ride even at higher speeds.

Racing Tread

For dynamic applications requiring high precision, our range includes racing treads. With minimal friction, they are ideal for sports equipment or lightweight vehicles.

Military Tread

If you need exceptionally robust pneumatic tires for challenging terrain, the military tread is an excellent choice. It delivers outstanding traction on soft surfaces like sand, mud, or grass and stands out for its high durability.

Block Tread

The block tread combines stability and traction on rough and uneven surfaces. It is often the first choice for agricultural machinery and heavy transport vehicles.

FAQ About Pneumatic Tyres

What are the optimal air pressure values for pneumatic tires?

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all air pressure value, as it depends on the tire’s size and application. Generally, the values range between 1.8 and 6.5 bar.

Which is better: pneumatic, rubber, or PU tires?

Different tires suit different purposes. Pneumatic tires offer comfort and shock absorption, while rubber or PU tires are more robust but heavier. For delicate surfaces and uneven terrain, pneumatic tires are recommended. For environments with sharp obstacles, solid rubber or PU tires are better suited.

How do temperature changes affect tire pressure?

Temperature directly impacts tire pressure. Cold temperatures decrease pressure, while heat increases it. Regular checks are recommended, especially in extreme weather conditions.
