Abstract
Textile reinforcements have been used in the manufacture of automotive tires since their inception. Starting with cotton, the textile types, components and technical attributes have evolved over the years. Today’s automotive tire use of textiles is key in obtaining performance parameters such as longevity and comfort. The textiles most widely used in automotive tires are polyester, polyamide and rayon, but they are highly tailored to our industry’s needs and are more technologically advanced than normal textile grades. This chapter will discuss the evolution of textile fibers for automotive tire use and expound on the more unconventional textiles being utilized to enhance tire performance.
