Silane modified low molecular weight liquid polymers in sulfur cured mixtures of styrene butadiene copolymers and silica

Global emissions of greenhouse gases from trucks and passenger cars are influenced by the deformation energy and friction losses of tires. It is mostly associated with the rolling resistance between the tire tread and the road surface. For this reason, the rolling resistance is considered one of the most important performance indicators (that is, targeted to be reduced) within the tire industry.

Yokohama begins production of high load capacity tires

The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., announced that it has begun production and sales of HLC (high load capacity) tires to meet the needs of heavy duty passenger cars such as EVs and hybrid cars with high capacity batteries, as well as large SUVs. Having been developed as the original equipment (OE) on new cars and for their repairs, Yokohama Rubber will also develop products for the replacement market in line with market needs.

Pirelli’s P Zero reduces rolling resistance

The structure of the P ZERO Race TLR features a tire tread made with the SmartEVO formulation, a cutting-edge compound of polymers created to offer an excellent grip and low rolling resistance. The tire is different in the inside compared to its predecessor: here the use of the new SPEEDCORE technology offers low rolling resistance and great protection from punctures, thus reinforcing the casing – without making it stiff – through the use of aramid fibers. Aramid in fact has chemical-physical features that allow for high resistance to traction, cuts and heat, thus favoring the mechanical properties of the tire itself.
