TRUCK AND BUS WHEELS AND TYRES - REQUIREMENTS FOR THE NEXT DECADE
The author outlines the requirements that commercial vehicle manufacturers will have to fulfill in the production of tyres: selection of the size of wheel/tyre system, safety requirements (depending on coefficient of friction between tyre and road, safeguard of tyre on rim with tubeless tyres, structural reliability), power transmission behaviour, fixing of tyre on rim, wear and durability, economy, service life, rolling resistance, traction behaviour, dimensions and weight, suitability for the fitting of snow chains, comfort, driving behaviour, noise, and non uniformity. For the covering abstract of the conference see TRIS 392374. (TRRL)
