Abstract
In order to realize a substantially eco-friendly tire offering appreciable driving safety and drivability, development of a next generation ecology tire technology beyond common knowledge in terms of a tire dimension has extensively been done. Through detail investigations of the size and inflation pressure effects considering optimum tire deformation around contact patch, the conceptual next generation size tire has achieved ultra-low RRC performance and appreciable F&M characteristics such as high CP/CF for drivability and braking capability for driving safety. As a tire manufacturer, we would like to propose the newly designed conceptual tire for next generation vehicles.
