Rubber tires were one of the important discoveries, as previously people use metal which was not that much of efficient. Rubber tires have the certain qualities which had a great effect on the performance of the tires. These tires have the contract patches or footprint which is the area that comes in contact with the roads as it is on higher level. Actually the distance between the lengths to width ratio of the contacts patches plays an important in the performance. Then comes the threads ware. Sometimes these threads are the reason for the poor performance such wheel alignment, because wheel alignment has straight effect on the performance. Another reason for poor performance of tires is the excessive inflation because this inflation of sidewall causes wear and it reduces speed. The measure of tires traction and grip of tires is done its dryness. Opposite is wet traction in which we check the grip and traction in the wet condition. There are different types of forces which are referred to tire uniformity. There are basically three types of forces which are applied on the tires.

Steel wheels. Steel wheels are the rims that come in the stock from when the cars are shipped from the factories and they are not at all decorative but they just full fill the requirement of the rim.
