Customers demand quality products. This will be as true in the feature as it is today. Tire are also designed to meet spectrum of service and enveronment condition. Aricraft and earthmover tires are the most advanced global tires that are specific for service, vehicle and enveronmental condition. The key properties to design tire tread compound is abrasion, heat buildup , wet grip and tear strength. Other properties that required is ease of processing. Different methods are used to develop the wide range of compounds required. Some compounds have ralatively simple application requirements, and some call for very complex properties that come close to the limits of materials and compounds. There for the same development process is not required for every compound. Some compounds are developed simply by making small changed in existing compound . Both tire technology and compound technology are changing as a result of trial and error, and intuition to become more scientific and predictive.
