| Wheels are what support the vehicle's weight and transfer torque (power) to the tires from the drivetrain and the braking system. Most automobile wheels are made of aluminum or steel, depending on the type of car, and personal preference. Aluminum wheels are lighter, absorb impacts better, and as a result, are more expensive. Pneumatic (air filled) rubber tires were first pattented in 1845, and fit on the outside rims of the wheels. Tires help smooth out the ride and porvide the automobile's one and only contact with the road, so traction and strength are the primary concerns. Tire treads are available in several tread types to match varied driving conditions. |
