Radial tyres have the ply cords positioned at a right angle in relation to the tyre centreline. ☐ True or ☐ False Document Name: Student Written Knowledge Assessment – AURLTJ102 Created Date: 01 st Dec 2020 Document No: © Strathfield College – AURLTJ102 Version No: 1.0 Last Modified Date: © Strathfield College | RTO Code: 91223 | CRICOS Code: 02736K Page Sequence: Page 13 of 24

AURLTJ102 Remove, inspect, repair and refit light vehicle tyres and tubes Multiple Choice question. Select the correct answer. 25. All of the following are types of tyre designed except. A. Bias-ply. B. Belted bias radial ply. C. Belted radial ply. D. Belted bias ply. 26. Describe the structural difference between a bias-ply and radial-ply tyre. Bias-Ply Tires: Bias-ply tires have plies (layers of cord material, typically nylon) that run diagonally across the tire, from bead to bead. The cords crisscross at an angle, often at 30-40 degrees, creating a crisscross pattern. The multiple plies provide sidewall and tread strength, making bias-ply tires robust and durable. These tires tend to be stiffer and provide a smoother ride for some applications but are less flexible and generate more heat during operation. Radial-Ply Tires: Radial-ply tires have plies that run from bead to bead at a 90-degree angle, perpendicular to the centerline of the tire. The cords are typically made of steel or polyester and are designed to provide greater flexibility and better contact with the road surface. Radial tires have a single, sturdy belt or radial ply under the tread that contributes to a more stable and comfortable ride. They generate less heat and offer improved fuel efficiency and handling characteristics compared to bias- ply tires. 27. Explain the purpose of the wheel rim drop centre and safety ridges. The wheel rim drop center helps in easier tire mounting and removal. Safety ridges prevent tire beads from slipping off the rim when deflated, enhancing safety. These features facilitate safe tire maintenance and better handling in low-pressure situations. 28. The tyre can be repaired from the inside using what two (2) methods? 1 Plug and Patch Combination: This method involves both plugging the puncture hole and applying a patch to the inner liner of the tire. The plug seals the hole from the inside, while the patch reinforces the Document Name: Student Written Knowledge Assessment – AURLTJ102 Created Date: 01 st Dec 2020 Document No: © Strathfield College – AURLTJ102 Version No: 1.0 Last Modified Date: © Strathfield College | RTO Code: 91223 | CRICOS Code: 02736K Page Sequence: Page 14 of 24

Place the missing words to complete the following statement about tube and tubeless tyres using the following words. Missing Words: airtight, defective, hole, inflated, inner, inward, leaking, lining, pneumatic, protection, seal, shape, special, tread, tubeless, tubes, valve There are two basic types of ____Pneumatic________ tyres: those that use inner ______tubes_________ and those that do not. The latter are called _____tubeless__________ tyres and are about the only type used on passenger cars today. A tubeless tyre has a soft inner lining that keeps air from ____leaking___________ between the tyre and rim. On some tyres, this inner lining can form a ____seal___________ around a nail or other object that punctures the _____tread__________. A self-sealing tyre holds in air even after the object is removed. The key to this sealing is a ____lining___________ of sticky rubber compound on the inside of the tread area that will seal a _____hole__________ up to 3/16 inch (4.76 mm). A tubeless tyre air ______valve_________ has a central core that is spring-loaded to allow air to pass ____inward___________ only, unless the pin is depressed. If the core becomes _____defective__________, it can be unscrewed and replaced. The ___airtight____________ cap on the end of the valve provides extra ____protection___________ against valve leakage. A tubeless tyre is mounted on a _____special_________ rim that retains air between the rim and the tyre casing when the tyre is ____inflated___________. A tubed tyre has a separate ____inner___________ tube which is fitted into the tyre when it is mounted to the tyre rim. When inflated with air, the tube maintains the ______shape_________ of the tyre under the load of the vehicle. Multiple Choice question. Select the correct answer. 32. Why are aluminium wheels superior to steel wheels? A. Their lower unsprung weight improves handling. B. They help improve fuel economy. C. They improve traction. D.

AURLTJ102 Remove, inspect, repair and refit light vehicle tyres and tubes ☐ True or ☐ False True or False question 35. The belts in a radial tyre restrict tread motion during contact with the road, thus improving tread life and traction. ☐ True or ☐ False Multiple Choice question. Select the correct answer. 36. Dismounting the tyre from the wheel begins with releasing the air, removing the valve stem core, and unseating the tyre from its rim. Who does the tyre unseating? A. The machine does the unseating. B. The technician pushing on the tyre. C. The wheel balancer. D. The tyre unseats itself. 37. Explain what the tyre changer is used for? A tire changer is a tool for removing and installing tires on wheel rims. It makes the process efficient, safe, and versatile for various vehicle sizes. Some models also include wheel balancing capabilities. 38. Explain what the buffing cup rasp is used for? Puncture Preparation: When a tire has a puncture, the damaged area must be cleaned and roughened to ensure proper adhesion of the repair material (patch or plug). The buffing cup rasp features abrasive surfaces that remove debris, contaminants, and damaged rubber from the inner surface of the puncture area. Enhanced Adhesion: The roughened surface created by the buffing cup rasp provides a textured, clean, and adhesive-friendly environment for the repair material to bond securely. This is crucial for creating a long- lasting and airtight seal. Smooth and Even Finish: After using the buffing cup rasp, the repair technician can apply the patch or plug to the prepared area, effectively sealing the puncture and restoring the tire's integrity. 39. What is the T-handle inserting tool used for? A T-handle inserting tool is used for precisely placing repair plugs into punctured tires, ensuring a secure and airtight seal. It guides the plug into the puncture and helps maintain tire integrity.

A tire pressure gauge is used to check and ensure that the air pressure in vehicle tires is at the recommended level for safety, performance, and fuel efficiency. It helps prevent underinflation and overinflation, supports regular maintenance, and promotes optimal tire longevity. 42. Explain how to use a tyre pressure gauge? Remove the valve cap and insert the gauge onto the valve stem. Read the gauge or digital display for the tire's pressure. Compare the reading to the recommended pressure, adjust if needed, and replace the valve cap. Repeat for all tires. 43. Consider the various post-fitting checks that you would make to a repaired tyre? After a tire repair, check: Inflation pressure with a gauge. Visual integrity and signs of damage. Conduct a leak test and ensure proper balance. True and False 44.
