The process was pricey.","canonicalId":"term:vulcanizing-process","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"The vulcanizing process is a chemical treatment that strengthens rubber by forming cross-links between polymer chains, making it more durable and heat-resistant. This process is essential in tire manufacturing to enhance performance and longevity.","simplifiedExplanation":"Vulcanizing is a way to make rubber stronger and last longer. It involves a special treatment that helps the rubber hold up better under pressure and heat, which is important for tires."}},{"startTime":19.0,"endTime":20.0,"type":"term","title":"white wall tires","url":"/glossary/white-wall-tires","quote":"...that's what happened with white wall tires. They were the cheaper tires, and then they became fashionable and they became more expensive...","canonicalId":"term:white-wall-tires","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"White wall tires are tires that have a white rubber band around the outer edge, giving them a distinctive look. They were once common and considered a sign of luxury, but have become a fashion statement in recent years.","simplifiedExplanation":"White wall tires are tires that have a white stripe or band on the side. They used to be popular and seen as fancy, but now they are sometimes used for style in fashion."}},{"startTime":20.0,"endTime":21.0,"type":"term","title":"white walls","url":"/glossary/white-walls","quote":"that's not what, let's see, in the 1930s, was when they started doing it where you could pay a few doll, a few extra dollars and then get white walls.","canonicalId":"term:white-walls","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"White walls are a style of tire where the sidewalls are painted white, giving a classic look that was particularly popular in the mid-20th century. They are often associated with vintage cars and add a touch of elegance to the vehicle's appearance.","simplifiedExplanation":"White walls are tires that have a white stripe on the side. They were very popular on older cars and make them look more stylish."}},{"startTime":21.0,"endTime":22.0,"type":"term","title":"bias ply","url":"/glossary/bias-ply","quote":"because before these, they were bias ply.","canonicalId":"term:bias-ply","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"Bias ply tires are constructed with layers of fabric that run diagonally across the tire, which can provide a softer ride but less stability compared to radial tires. They were commonly used before the introduction of radial tires.","simplifiedExplanation":"Bias ply tires are a type of tire made with layers that cross each other. They are older technology and can feel softer but aren't as stable as newer types."}},{"startTime":21.0,"endTime":22.0,"type":"term","title":"radial tires","url":"/glossary/radial-tires","quote":"the first wide white wall radial tires because before these, they were bias ply.","canonicalId":"term:radial-tires","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"Radial tires are designed with layers of fabric that run perpendicular to the direction of travel, providing better stability, handling, and fuel efficiency compared to bias ply tires. They are the standard tire type used on most modern vehicles.","simplifiedExplanation":"Radial tires are a newer type of tire that are made differently than bias ply tires. They are better for handling and last longer, which is why most cars use them today."}},{"startTime":22.0,"endTime":23.0,"type":"term","title":"period correct tires","url":"/glossary/period-correct-tires","quote":"And then in 2013 they also did a bias look radial tires so people could have like period correct tires.","canonicalId":"term:period-correct-tires","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"Period correct tires are tires that match the style and specifications of a vehicle from a specific historical era. They are often used in classic car restorations to maintain authenticity.","simplifiedExplanation":"Period correct tires are tires that look like the ones that would have been on a car from a certain time in history. They help make old cars look authentic."}}],"speakers":[{"id":"s1","name":"Car Krush","role":"host"}],"transcripts":[{"url":"http://getcarcurious.com/episodes/150-the-pile-up-ep31-loose-ends/transcript.vtt","type":"text/vtt"}]}
