Force variation axes. Tire forces are divided into three axes: radial, lateral, and tangential (or fore-aft). The radial axis runs from the tire center toward the tread, and is the vertical axis running from the roadway through the tire center toward the vehicle.

Part 1 considers tyres' nomenclature, size designation, marking, dimensions and compatibility with different rims and rim widths. Part 2 considers both general requirements and specific requirements for 5 sub types of rim: straight-sided, tubeless straight-sided, hooked bead, crochet type (not the same as hooked bead type), and tubeless crochet ...

Automotive tires are described by several alphanumeric tire codes (in North American English) or tyre codes (in Commonwealth English), which are generally molded into the sidewall of the tire. These codes specify the dimensions of the tire and its key limitations, such as load-bearing ability and maximum speed.
The inner liner is a calendered [4] halobutyl rubber sheet compounded with additives that result in low air permeability.The inner liner assures that the tire will hold high-pressure air inside, without an inner tube, minimizing diffusion through the rubber structure.
The European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) exists to specify and harmonise sizes of rims and their associated pneumatic tyres across the European Union. ETRTO sizes apply to rims and tyres for vehicles of all types, including bicycles.
