轮胎对于军用汽车的越野通过性能和安全防护性能影响重大。战时,部队编配的各种轮式车辆随时可能遭到来自空中和地面的袭击,而普通充气轮胎抗打击能力极为脆弱,一般轻武器弹药、小威力地雷及爆炸物即可将其破坏。此外,现代战争将迫使轮式车辆更多地在地形错综复杂且没有开辟道路的地面上行驶,若使用普通充气轮胎,容易发生爆胎。一旦轮胎遭到破坏或发生爆胎,轮 Tires have a significant impact on the off-road performance and safety performance of military vehicles. In wartime, all sorts of wheeled vehicles deployed by the troops may face attacks from the air and on the ground at any time. Ordinary pneumatic tires are extremely vulnerable to attack and will usually be destroyed by light weapons, small power mines and explosives. In addition, modern warfare will force wheeled vehicles to drive more on terrain that is not topographical and complicated, and flat tires likely to develop if used with normal pneumatic tires. Whenever a tire is damaged or a flat tire occurs, the wheel
