EMTWT5004A

Wheel

[Generals]
The wheel and tire are assembled in a body and rotated
together.By the air pressure inside of the tire, the tire can
sustain the vehicle's weight. The air pressure acts as a
buffer so as to absorb the shocks from the road surface.
As a result, tire plays an important role for enhancing the
ride value of the vehicles.In addition, by the frictional
force between the tire and the road surface, it is possible
to run, to stop and to change direction.
