The hidden side of a truck & bus tyre

• The tyre is a composite & complex product made of hi-tech components including more than 200 raw materials.

• Your only contact with the ground : for a truck tyre, the contact surface is equivalent to 3 hands (or A4 paper sheet).
• A product that has to carry, roll, steer, convey braking & acceleration of the vehicle, must resist many aggressions & usage conditions, last long, contribute to mechanical & acoustic comfort, consume less fuel.

• Although it is relatively simple to optimize each type of performance separately, it is more difficult to manage the balance between them. The art of the tyre designer is the art of achieving a balance between these often-contradictory types of performance.
