By: Muna wa Wanjiru

The first custom thing that we would like to put on the car and for the matter of fact that they may be the only custom that we ever put on the car. No matter what, how complicated your ride is, most often we start with the tweaking of wheels. The focal point of most cars, lies in the rim and tire package and can make or break the look and style of your sedan.

Tires also spelled tires in British English are the pneumatic enclosures which are used to protect and augment the effect of wheels.

Tires are made use of on many types of vehicles, varying from big to small, from cars to earthmovers to airplanes. The Tires facilitate vehicle performance by providing traction, braking, steering, and load support. Tires are puffed up with air, which offers a supple cushion between the vehicle and the surface of road and smoothes out the shocks of a rough road and provides the drivers and passengers with a comfortable ride.

A wheel is the earliest invention known to the man and the most useful thing after fire. Wheel is a circular device that is known to the capable of rotating on its central axis, facilitating the movement, transportation or performing labor in machines. A wheel together with an axle overcomes the friction by facilitating the movement by rolling. In order for the wheels to rotate on its axis a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by the use of gravity or by appliance of another external force. Common applications are found in transport applications. By and large the term is also used for further circular objects that rotate or turn about their axes, such as a Ship's wheel and flywheel.

There are many varieties of tires available in the market. Normal tires usually used are made of Aramid. It's a synthetic fabric that is used in tires that is stronger than steel. A precisely engineered tire is an assembly of rubber, chemicals, fabrics, and metal designed to provide a rated amount of traction, cushion road shock and to carry a load under varying conditions.

In winter or during snow falls special tires known as winter tires; a special type of tire with a tread and compound giving better traction in snow is used. It is identified by the M + S, M & S, or M/S on the sidewalls. All season tires must include these descriptions on the sidewall.

The variations found in wheels are a plenty and the most used are the steel ones. The trend of using alloy wheels are catching up as it is more sleek and stylish than normal ones. Alloy wheels of aluminum/chrome/magnesium are used as they reduce the weight and improve the performance of the vehicles. Hubcap or full Wheel Covers cover the entire wheel and they do not look that great alone. The hub caps are not usually used when the alloy wheels are used.
