What’s So Special About Aircraft Tires for Ground Use?
Did you know that aircraft tire manufacturing involves both hand-crafted and automated processes? Regardless of what brand you choose, there is no bad aircraft tire. Even the cheapest tires must meet the specifications that the FAA has defined.
The ply in the specification is used to indicate the number of layers, or plies, of reinforcing material, such as nylon, that is used in the construction of the tire. In the old days, this number was literally the number of layers. However, modern technologies utilized is tire making, such as Kevlar cords, translate into the use of less actual plies to get the same ply rating. This is sometimes better because it saves weight and creates less heat.
Retreads
The retreading of aircraft tires has been the industry standard for commercial airlines for many years. In fact, it is standard operating procedure for the military. A rebuilt tire is as safe as, if not safer than, a new tire because it is built on a service-tested tire carcass, whereas a new tire has had no service to establish its construction reliability and performance.
