The tire industry continues to evolve, with various price points reflecting advancements in technology and materials. A significant improvement has been the development of rubber mixtures that enhance grip, durability, and resistance to environmental factors. The manufacturing process involves using pressure and vacuum to form threads, along with steam for vulcanization. Understanding tire performance during heavy braking reveals that they maintain temperature effectively. Innovations in tire technology remain crucial for safety and performance on the road.

I was just thinking the other day how the tire industry can continue to evolve and why there are so many price points for tires. Isn't this something we should have perfected many years ago?

One huge improvement, not mentioned in the vid, has been the mix of rubber to be in contact with the road.
Making it softer, grippier and more resilient to heat, chemicals, sunlight, and erosion has not been easy task.
This second vid shows a summary of the manufacturing process.
The press uses pressure and vacuum for forming the threads and steam for the vulcanization process.
