What role does the rim play in wheel construction?
The rim is an important part of the wheel and plays a key role in the overall structure of the wheel. The following are the main functions of the rim in wheel construction:
1. Support the tire
Secure the tire: The main function of the rim is to support and secure the tire. It provides a stable platform, ensuring that the tire can be properly mounted on the wheel and maintain its shape and function.
Forming an airtight cavity: In a tubeless tire system, the rim and tire form a closed air cavity together to maintain the air pressure inside the tire. This is essential to maintaining the performance and safety of the tire.
2. Transmit power
Connecting the wheel hub and tire: The rim is connected to the wheel hub, through which the engine power is transmitted to the tire through the wheel hub, ultimately driving the vehicle forward.
Handles turning and braking forces: When the vehicle is turning or braking, the rims help transfer these forces to the tires, ensuring the vehicle moves in the intended direction and speed.
3. Maintain the shape of the tire
Support tire sidewall: The design of the rim helps maintain the shape of the tire, especially when it is subjected to vehicle weight and road impact, preventing the tire sidewall from deforming or sliding.
Ensures even pressure distribution: By supporting the tire, the rim helps ensure even pressure distribution where the tire contacts the ground, improving the vehicle's driving stability and tire life.
4. Heat dissipation function
Helps dissipate heat from the tire: The rim helps dissipate the heat generated by the tire and brake system, especially when driving at high speeds or braking frequently. Good heat dissipation can prevent the tire from overheating, thereby reducing the risk of a tire blowout.
5. Beautiful and personalized
Appearance design: In addition to their functional role, rims are also an important part of the vehicle's exterior design. Many car owners choose to upgrade or customize their rims to enhance the beauty and personal style of their vehicles.
6. Withstand load and impact
Load-bearing weight: The rim must bear the weight of the vehicle as well as the unevenness and impact from the road. A strong rim can ensure that the wheel can work stably under various driving conditions.
Impact resistance: When encountering uneven roads or obstacles, the rim needs to be able to withstand impact without deformation or damage to protect the overall integrity of the tire and wheel.
The rim plays an indispensable role in the wheel structure. It not only determines the installation and use of the tire, but also directly affects the vehicle's driving performance, safety and aesthetics.

Here is a brief introduction of a TONLY mining dump truck produced by our company for use in the mining industry, with a rim size of 13.00-25/2.5.
13.00-25/2.5 rim is a common medium-sized engineering machinery rim, which is widely used in loaders, port machinery, small mining vehicles and other equipment. It is usually used with medium-sized tires such as 13.00-25, 14.00-25, 16.00-25, etc. It is convenient to repair and replace accessories, and is supported by multiple brands of equipment at home and abroad.
Under the premise of meeting the medium load requirement, such a rim is light in weight and relatively low in manufacturing cost, making it a very cost-effective choice. The 2.5 flange structure can enhance the installation stability of the tire, making it less likely for the tire to slide or deviate during high-frequency operation; it also helps reduce tire bead wear and extend tire life.
13.00-25/2.5 rim is a 5PC structure rim for TL tires, usually used for mining dump trucks. We are the OE rim supplier for TONLY mining dump trucks.
