SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on advancements in tire manufacturing, particularly the evolution of rubber compounds used in tire production. Key improvements include the development of softer, grippier rubber that is more resilient to heat, chemicals, sunlight, and erosion. The manufacturing process involves the use of pressure and vacuum for thread formation, along with steam for vulcanization. These innovations contribute to enhanced tire performance, especially during heavy braking.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of tire manufacturing processes
- Knowledge of rubber compound properties
- Familiarity with vulcanization techniques
- Awareness of factors affecting tire performance
- Research advancements in rubber compound technology
- Explore the impact of vulcanization on tire durability
- Learn about tire performance metrics during braking
- Investigate the economics of tire pricing and market segmentation
Automotive engineers, tire manufacturers, and anyone interested in the science of tire performance and manufacturing innovations.
Cheers,
Tom

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.
