Tyres: Design, Construction and Selection

The tyres in the cars and commercial vehicles are subjected to the greatest stress. In order to get the extended life of the tyres the rolling resistance should be as low as possible. Low fuel consumption can be achieved once the rolling resistance is reduced. Sample economic feasibility study shows that the tyre cost accounted for 3% and the fuel cost accounted for 18% of the total operating cost of the commercial vehicles. A good tyre normally meets the following requirements.
