Cross-ply Tyres

The cross-ply tyre is made up of superimposed layers of textile cord running at alternate angles from bead to bead.

With this design the sidewalls and tread are not differentiated and this gives the tyre structure great rigidity.

With a cross-ply tyre the maximum width and the height of the tyre above the rim are approximately equal. This relationship is known as the aspect ratio and with cross-ply tyres is approximately 100%, giving the cross-ply tyre its unique "tall" appearance.
