Tires break down over time and the rubber is bound to release small inorganic particles into the soil and water. If you take an air sample near a road using a mold inspectors spore trap you will find that the air contains tiny rubber particles that look like black chewed up gum.
It is a fact that the oceans are contaminated with tiny inorganic plastic particles from plastics that wash into the sea. Such contaminates often find their way into the food chain by animals that think plastic must be some new type of food. So it goes to reason that tiny pieces of rubber from tires will also pollute water and soil and even may be eaten by animals that think it is food.
More importantly most tires contain steel belts, in other words internal metal strands that give the tire extra strength.
When tires break down, especially in water these steel belts rust over time and are released in our water ways. Some metals are toxic to animals and humans. I am not sure of all the metals present in tires, or their levels, but it seems that at least some contain cadmium, lead, and zinc.
I a sure mother nature would appreciate it if we did not toss ugly tires that release these rubber particles and metals into our water ways.
If you do not respect mother nature she will slap us all in the face one day.
People dump things into it.
Yes, it does. Plies affect the flexibility of the tire as you steer.
A ball inside the tire will unbalance the tire and affect how the vehicle will handle.
i don't no. but i am guessing that it will not have much of an impct
The average lifespan of a bike tire is around 2,000 to 3,000 miles. Factors that can affect the lifespan of a bike tire include the type of terrain ridden on, tire pressure, riding style, maintenance, and the quality of the tire.
No, water should not be put in a tire as it can cause damage to the tire and affect its performance.
no.
No, it is not recommended to put a tube in a tubeless tire as it can cause safety issues and affect the performance of the tire.
No, it is not recommended to mix tire sealants together as it can affect their effectiveness and potentially cause damage to the tire.
it will be ur tire as it is the last thing to touch the road
It does affect overall ratio. The transmission ratios, the axle ratio, and tire size all figure into overall ratio.
water is its enviroment. ofcourse it lives in water because if it didnt it would DIE.
