Abstract

Abstract Recent advances in rubber compounding as well as a more advanced understanding of deflated tire mechanics, combined with consumer demand for increased vehicle safety and convenience, have led to the development of self-supporting tires. Self-supporting tires, which are available for lightly loaded sport vehicles, are now available for the more common 60-series tire and the luxury car segment. This paper highlights some of the methods used to develop the P225/60R16 MXV4 ZP and provides information on its application and performance. Modeling for the zero-psi tire and factors that influence performance (speed, load, cornering, and ambient conditions) are discussed.
