DRIVE-TRACTION
TREAD
COMPOUND
The tread compounds of a traction tire must transmit motion and convert the engine axle rotations into the vehicle’s travel.
For this, the compound must possess traction capabilities (softness that allows it to grip the asperities of the road surface) while also ensuring durability and providing a reasonable mileage.
It should not transmit unnecessary friction and must guarantee traction and braking performance on all road surfaces and in all environmental conditions (dry, wet, snow, and ice).
Compounds with natural rubber are recommended to obtain the 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) certification (for both new and retreaded tires) required for vehicle travel during the winter season.
The rolling resistance coefficient is the ratio between the force opposing the rolling motion and the maximum load the tire can support. The higher this index, the greater the fuel consumption induced by the friction generated by the tire in contact with the road. Energy efficiency classes have been created from A (best) to F (worst) related to the tire’s fuel consumption. This characteristic is included in the tire labeling regulation (EU1222/2009 and 740/2020) but can also be measured on retreaded tires.
Eurorubber collaborates with both new and retreaded tire manufacturers and possesses all the necessary know-how (mixing effect + retreading process) to offer a range of compounds for all positions and uses, also competitive in terms of rolling resistance.
Our solutions are designed to ensure long-lasting durability, effectively resisting wear and mechanical stress, even in challenging operating conditions.
We offer products that guarantee consistent performance over time, providing our customers with the assurance that every application functions optimally, without surprises.
Our solutions optimize production efficiency and reduce operating costs, thanks to compounds and materials that combine high performance with a lower economic impact.
