Do you know the difference between an airplane tire and a normal car tire? Each airplane tire can carry a load of approximately 40 tons. Additionally, they are extremely resistant to wear and tear. During landing, airplane tires are in a stationary position before they touch the ground. However, the moment they start touching the ground, they reach a speed of approximately 250 km/h. They are exposed to extreme heat in a short period of time. Normally, this causes a sudden change in pressure and could cause the tire to burst instantly. But to prevent this, the tires are inflated with nitrogen instead of air. This keeps the internal pressure stable. Most importantly, the tires are made of multi-layered steel cords and reinforced rubber. Thanks to all these features, the tires can be used for up to 300 landings without needing to be replaced. A normal car tire, on the other hand, wouldn't even survive a single landing. Only those who understood should click "like."

Need those on my car
I was a commercial tire men, those aircraft tires are very strong, they were built to take a serious beating.
The nitrogen blub is pure bunk. Air and nitrogen react almost identically when temperature changes. Nitrogen is mandatory because of the risk of explosion should a tire overheat because of a hot brake. You could check it out.
Airplane tires are very expensive but they're made very well
The tires of an airliner are accelerated with enough force to launch a golf ball into orbit. Imagine that.
If it spins before landing it would last long
Bah. Nitrogen? Instead of air? AIR IS 78% NITROGEN. BAH. BAH. NEH.
"Hydrogen baby vs coughing bomb" ahh wheels
I'd hate to be busting tires on those planes...
Aircraft tires are 16 ply. They could support the weight of your vehicle at 0 psi.
The fact i cant dislike the video is annoying
Grate video but you forgot to mention that the airplane tire is bigger than a car tire
I need such tyres on my Lexus es350
Basic automotive tires are rated at 150-175 mph.
Well nitrogen is just air with a fancy name
Don't know if they still use retreaded aircraft tires. I used to recap aircraft tires at my uncles retread shop. He only did aircraft tires because they paid really well.
Each tire is approximately $10,000 ea. Glad my Lincoln MKX tires are $145 dollars each.
Wonder why not co2 or liquid substance?Would water prevent fire inside the tire?
I'm surprised their not solid rubber and steel mesh, probably last longer, like some forklift tires.
Yep inflated with nitrogen instead of air.
