I never thought those metal layers in a car tire work similarly to the simple spoke design of a bike tire. I just assumed air pressure did all the work and the metal layers were there to resist sharp objects as much as possible.

Thank you thunderbong, very cool.


Who is this guy? He has a very similar voice and delivery to Bill Hammack [1] (aka Bill the Engineer Guy of the famous aluminum beverage can video), but I don’t think it’s him.

Maybe the engineering degree in the background helps explain. Professor perhaps?
