OTR tire manufacturers use different tire compounds to guide what a tire should be chosen for a specific purpose. Each type of compound has its own features when it comes to resistance against heat build-up and cuts.
Typically, there are mainly 3 types of compounds:
AEOLUS
A = Cut Resistant
B = Heat Resistant
Maxam
S2UC = Ultra Cut-Resistant
S2 = Cut-Resistant
S1 =Standard
S3 =Heat-Resistant
As vehicle cabins become quieter, tire noise has become one of the main sources of unwanted sound, especially at medium and high speeds. Noise-reducing tires are developed to address this issue directly at the tire–road interface, where most road noise is generated. Decibel scale: from quiet to road noise (Source: Continental) Where Tire Noise Comes FromFrom […]

This research strives to enhance the safety of multi-piece wheel assemblies as injuries and fatalities are associated with their failure, yet information on this topic is limited.Experiments were performed to determine mechanical performance and planar deformation characteristics of several tires to aid in numerical model development. For a 29.5-29 tire, observations included determining vertical versus […]
