Aircraft tire

Aircraft tire tread patterns are designed to facilitate stability in high crosswind conditions, to channel water away to prevent hydroplaning, and for braking effect.

The fuses provide a safer failure mode that prevents tire explosions by deflating in a controlled manner, thus minimizing damage to aircraft and objects in the surrounding environment.

Aircraft tires generally operate at high pressures, up to 200 psi (14 bar; 1,400 kPa) for airliners,[2] and even higher for business jets[citation needed].

[citation needed] Aircraft tires are usually inflated with nitrogen to minimize expansion and contraction from extreme changes in ambient temperature and pressure experienced during flight.
