=== Other === Aircraft, bicycles, and a variety of industrial applications have distinct design requirements.[[File:Boeing-777-300 chassis .jpg|thumb|Tires on the wheels of a [[Bogie#Bogie (aircraft)|bogie]] on a [[Boeing 777]]]] * Aircraft tires are designed for landing on paved surfaces and rely on their [[landing gear]] to absorb the shock of landing. To conserve the weight and space required, they are typically small in proportion to the vehicle that they support. Most are radial-ply construction. They are designed for a peak load when the aircraft is stationary, although side loads upon landing are an important factor.<ref>{{cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=XMpdOeWeqq8C&q=%22Aircraft+Landing+Gear+Design%3A+Principles+and+Practices%22 |title=Aircraft Landing Gear Design: Principles and Practices|last=Currey|first=Norman S. |date=1988 |publisher=AIAA |isbn=9781600860188 |pages=123β5 |language=en}}</ref> Although hydroplaning is a concern for aircraft tires, they typically have radial grooves and no lateral grooves or sipes.<ref>{{cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=urE7AAAAMAAJ&q=%22Aerospace+safety%22+tires&pg=RA1-PT10|title=Aerospace safety |last=McKenny |first=Earl F.|date=May 1964|publisher=United States Dept of the Air Force |location=Washington, DC |pages=5β7 |language=en}}</ref> Some light aircraft employ large-diameter, low-pressure [[tundra tire]]s for landing on unprepared surfaces in wilderness areas.<ref>{{cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=r9o_4EmCsvkC&q=%22Tundra+tire%22&pg=PA88|title=Tundra Tire Nation |last=Richfield |first=Paul J. |date=September 2005 |publisher=Flying Magazine |location=New York|pages=88β92 |language=en}}</ref> * [[Bicycle tire]]s may be designed for riding on roads or over unimproved terrain and may be mounted on vehicles with more than two wheels. There are three main types: ''clincher'', ''wired'' and ''tubular''.<ref>Sharp, Archibald, Bicycles & Tricycles: An Elementary Treatise on Their Design and Construction, Longmans Green, London and New York, 1896, pages 494-502; reprinted by MIT Press, 1977, {{ISBN|0-262-69066-7}}</ref> Most bicycle tires are ''clincher'' and have a bead that presses against the wheel rim. An inner tube provides the air pressure and the contact pressure between the bead and wheel rim.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.sheldonbrown.com/rinard/tirebead.htm |title=Tire Bead Test |first=Damon |last=Rinard |year=2000 |website=sheldonbrown.com |access-date=March 10, 2013 |quote=Conclusion: Clincher tires stay on the rim primarily by the clinch of the hooked sidewall that retains the tire bead, not the circumferential tension in the bead.}}</ref> * Industrial tires support such vehicles as forklifts, tractors, excavators, road rollers, and bucket loaders. Those used on smooth surfaces have a smooth tread, whereas those used on soft surfaces typically have large tread features.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://markettalknews.com/industrial-tire-market-size-estimated-to-observe-significant-growth-by-2018-2026/|title=Industrial Tire Market: Size Estimated To Observe Significant Growth By 2018 β 2026 |last=Jinkya|first=A.|date=May 10, 2019|website=Market Talk News|language=en-US|access-date=2019-05-10|url-status= usurped|archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20190510142205/https://markettalknews.com/industrial-tire-market-size-estimated-to-observe-significant-growth-by-2018-2026/|archivedate=2019-05-10}}</ref> Some industrial tires are solid or filled with foam.<ref>{{cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=NQDnPgAACAAJ&q=%22industrial+tire%22|title=Industrial Press-on Solid Rubber Tires: Exported Into Canada by Bearcat Tire Company, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America|last=Tribunal|first=Canada Anti-dumping|date=1971|publisher=Information Canada|language=en}}</ref> * [[Motorcycle tire]]s provide traction, resisting wear, absorbing surface irregularities, and allow the [[motorcycle]] to turn via [[countersteering]].
