Henry is planning to replace the tyres of his car. He has a set of tyres that he wants to use, but he is not sure if they will fit on his 15 inch wheels. Will the tyres fit?

Poppy, Amelia, and Anaya are learning about vehicles in their science class. Their teacher asked, 'Which of the following statements are true about the vehicles we discussed today? Select all the correct answers.'

• The tyres on most modern vehicles, like the ones we saw in the video, are tubeless, as they weigh less and have better handling characteristics

• Steel wheels, like the ones on the school bus, are typically lighter than alloy wheels, with similar strength and better heat conduction

• The letter D on a tyre, like the one on the bicycle in our textbook, means that it is a radial type of tyre

• Tyre wear, like the one we observed on the old car in the school parking lot, is indicated by wear bars on the tyre sidewall

Anaya, Rosie, and Grace are learning about car maintenance. They are examining different tyres. Which tyre among the ones they are examining shows tread wear caused by low tyre pressure?

Mira, Isabella, and Ava are planning a road trip. They are checking their car's tyres and come across the term 'speed rating'. What does the speed rating of a tyre indicate?

• The maximum speed the tyre can safely maintain

• The minimum speed the tyre should be used at

• The average speed the tyre is designed for

• The speed at which the tyre will wear out

Arthur, Daniel, and Rosie are on a road trip when they get a flat tyre. Arthur pulls out a space saver wheel from the trunk. What is the purpose of this space saver wheel?
