Cooling Down: Reducing Heat is Key to Improving OTR Tire Performance Fresno CA
Take a rubber band and stretch and release it many times. Notice how much warmer it is? The mechanical energy you imparted to stretch and release the rubber band has been converted to heat energy. This is what takes place in an OTR tire, but on a much larger scale, and all of that rubber (more than 3 tons in a 63-inch radial) – being such a good insulator – holds that heat.

While the tire market has been soft the last two years, tire development hasn’t slowed, especially in the giant radial OTR sector. We’ll look at the latest tire technologies and how they improve tire performance in the field.
The OTR tire market may have experienced some slowing over the last couple of years but the push by giant OTR radial tire users for faster and more efficient production has remained stronger than ever. This quest for more efficient and profitable operations has kept Bridgestone and the entire tire industry busier than ever before in developing new technologies to enhance the performance of today’s giant OTR radial tires.
You could actually say today’s mantra is Bigger, Stronger, Faster.
We are constantly developing new materials, designs, and processes that will result in incremental improvements in the performance and competitiveness of our tires. This article will address new solutions that Bridgestone is developing or studying to address one of the most fundamental issues facing giant OTR radial tire performance: heat resistance.
Figure A:?The impact of grooves on reducing heat in the tread of an OTR tire.
Heat is the biggest enemy of an OTR tire. In the quest for “bigger, stronger, faster,” the goal is to manage the amount of heat generated or to remove heat from the tire.
On today’s new vehicles with payloads of 400 tons and top speeds reaching 45 mph or higher, the ability to mi... |
