that touches the road. So, part of tyre must be emphasized in terms of designation. Tyres must
strike a balance between traction, comfort, durability, energy efficiency and overall cost. As a
result of these competing needs, tyres are more complex to design and build than you might
think. Take, for instance, a smart phone. It seems far more complex than a tyre. But actually,
throughout development a similar amount of research and technology goes into the
tyre(Anonymous, n.d.).
Nowadays there were many accidents happened due to the problem of tyre. Driver
mostly not taking care about the tyre that will affect their safety when on the road especially
when in raining day. People who was not care about safety will use re-treaded tyre because it
cheaper than new tyre and it is the most environmentally-friendly way of recycling rubber
tyres, because one of tyre can be retreaded up to 10 times, definitely extending its service life.
Retreads save hundreds of millions of gallons of oil in production and cut carbon emissions
and landfill. But, re-treaded tyre is not good because of the history of the original tyre is
unknown (how often the tyre has been retreaded and under what conditions it has been
driven), less overall structural strength than a new tyre and the potential for the retread to
come loose from the tyre, potential instability at high speed and inferior wet grip, durability
and braking performance (Industrial Centre, n.d.).
As an engineer, we must come out with the solution to improve the problem of
maximum speed tyre which is will overcome the accidents happen cause of tyre problem.
One of the ways is design the suitable maximum speed of tyre which are laterally to engine
speed so that the better performance and safety can be develop.
Safety for wet road grip
One of the main factors contributing to precise steering control and reactivity is the stiffness
of the tread design (Michelin, n.d.).
Tyre specification:
The sidewall provides valuable information about the tyre including the
specifications, the brand, and the type of construction. All numbers are standardized and
recognized by tyre manufacturers around the world.
