The bead base of a tire refers to the specific part of the tire bead that makes contact with the rim bead seat when the tire is mounted on a wheel. This contact is crucial for creating a secure seal that prevents air from escaping, especially in tubeless tire designs. The bead base is designed to fit precisely into the rim bead seat, ensuring a tight and reliable connection between the tire and the wheel, which is essential for safe and efficient operation of the vehicle.
