Tyre Carcass
The tyre carcass is the main structural framework of the tyre, comprising layers of rubberised cord fabric (plies) that extend from bead to bead. It supports the tyre's shape, carries the vehicle's load, and contains the air pressure. Carcass integrity determines whether a used tyre can be retreaded, making it the most valuable component in commercial tyre lifecycle management.
