WIDE BASE SINGLES : single truck tires designed to replace sets of duals on drive and trailer axles.
BIAS PLY : a tire construction geometry in which the plies are laid either diagonally or at an angle of 35 degrees.
SIPES : in tire terminology, the tiny notches along the edges of grooves within the tread blocks and ribs.
FOOTPRINT : the critical contact interface between a tire and the road surface it contacts.
CBB : Teflon-coated glass beads placed inside tires used to dynamically balance axle-end assemblies.
RETREAD : a tire that has been reconditioned by having a new rubber tread cured to it to extend its usable life.
WHEEL BALANCE : the state of balance of a wheel assembly, not just the tire/rim. In trucks wheel balance is critical because of the high mass of rotating components other than the tires.
WHEEL DOLLY : single or dual wheel assembly hoist on rollers.
SECTION HEIGHT : the tread center-to-bead plane on a tire.
RIM : component on which a tire is mounted.
RADIAL TIRE : a tire with circumferential belts in which the plies run at right angles to the beads.
TPMS : wireless tire pressure (and sometimes temperature) monitoring system.
UNITIZED SEAL : a wheel seal in which a static seal is made at both the axle hub installation bore and the axle spindle; the dynamic portion of the seal is self-contained within the seal itself so it turns within itself.
LIP TYPE SEAL : a shaft to hub, dynamic seal that has the seal medium, usually leather or synthetic rubbers, spring-loaded to ride on a wiper ring or wiper race, which is located on the shaft.
PRESET HUBS : hub assemblies with both the bearings and seals already installed. To install on the wheel end, the technician installs the self-piloting hub and torques the assembly in place, eliminating the need for bearing adjustment.
WHEEL HOP : wheel or axle oscillation that results in irregular tire-to-road contact.
SECTION WIDTH : the sidewall-to-sidewall measurement on a tire.
ASPECT RATIO : a tire term calculated by dividing the section height by the section width.
