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
Overview The study focused on the tyre life on the main haul fleet at an open pit iron ore mine. The haul fleet consisted of 17 Komatsu 730 (180 t) haul trucks and 12 CAT 777 (90 t) haul trucks. The haulage operation consists entirely of tyre-based haul trucks. Five per cent of the total […]

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 […]
