STRESS OF ROAD SURFACES DUE TO THE STUDDED TYRES OF THE SO CALLED NEW GENERATION

BEANSPRUCHUNG VON STRASSENDECKEN DURCH SPIKEREIFEN DER SOGENANNTEN NEUEN GENERATION

Tyres of the so called new generation are cased in steel instead of textiles and have studs with a base diameter of 7mm instead of the formerly standard 10mm. Experiments carried out on road surfaces made of concrete, asphalt and synthetic resin mortar with the traffic simulator of the Cement Research Institute showed, that in the case of similar stud projections, an abrasion reduction of 1/4 to 1/3 may be achieved as a result of using the new studded tyres. Improvements in this scale may have been barely detectable on highways due to inevitable distribution, as an area of 1.0mm to 1.5mm must be allowed for the spike projection, this alone yielding relative factors for abrasion of up to 1:3. /TRRL/
