Changes to the tire regulatory landscape have simply impacted tire manufacturers.

New tire designs are measured to verify that the inflated shape conforms to the specified design.

In silica-filled tire tread compounds bi-functional silanes are essential to achieve the desired compound properties.

Nowadays high performance calendering process, both for fabric or steel cord rubberizing, require very accurate and proper automatic rolling bank control.

This paper will present the history and future of the Tire Identification Number (TIN), the alpha-numeric that is molded on every tire sold in the US.

It is well known that rubber silanes are used as coupling agents which are necessary to achieve a high degree of reinforcement in silica-filled rubber compounds.

As tire companies continue to go higher and higher silica contents to achieve improved tread properties, silica mixing is becoming more difficult.

With consumer demand for noise-reducing tires and run-flat tires in the growing premium segment, producers are in need of a release agent that will not affect the adhesion of material being applied to the inside of the tire after vulcanization.

Economic growth requiring increased mobility accelerates changes in automobile and Tyre industry globally.

Nanoindentation is a powerful technique for characterizing small volumes of material for the mechanical properties of elastic modulus, hardness, and viscoelasticity.

The endurance test monitoring system EMS has been successfully installed to enable test engineers to observe and analyze a tire during an ongoing endurance or high speed test on drum test systems.

An overview of the role of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), NHTSA's Tire Compliance Enforcement Program, and Tire Registration Requirements for Tire Dealers and Distributors.

With the introduction of silica into tire treads in the 1990s, the use of organo-silanes also greatly increased as well in order to achieve the needed improvements in tire rolling resistance.
