What is the cord angle?
The cord angle is the angle between the tire’s cords and the centerline of the tread. This angle affects the tire’s ability to flex and resist deformation under load. A higher cord angle provides greater resistance to deformation, while a lower cord angle allows for more flexibility. The cord angle also affects the tire’s rolling resistance, with a higher cord angle resulting in greater resistance. The cord angle is an important factor in tire design and must be carefully considered to ensure the tire performs as intended.
