Threads Per Inch (TPI)
The number of threads that cross through one square inch of a single ply of the tire’s casing. Lower TPI (ex. 60 TPI) gives better puncture, cut and abrasion resistance but is heavier. Higher TPI (ex. 120 TPI) conforms better to the terrain, offering a smoother, more comfortable ride while reducing the weight of the tire. The trade off being higher TPI casings are more fragile compared to lower TPI casings.
WIRE BEAD
A rigid metal wire is utilized as bead material in applications where ultimate strength is needed and transportability is not a factor.
SINGLE COMPOUND
One compound throughout the tread optimized for longevity and performance.
