Nira Dynamics has launched the Tread Wear Indicator (TWI), which monitors tire wear in real time, providing drivers and fleet ...

Arguably, keeping on top of your tires is the most important part of automotive maintenance, and low tire tread is one of the ...

Own a car long enough, and one day it may begin vibrating while you're driving. This usually signals a tire problem. Here's what you need to know.

In the UK, drivers must ensure their tyre tread depth is a minimum of 1.6 millimeters across the central three-quarters of the compound. Failure to maintain this standard could see individuals hit ...

Yokohama Rubber has begun practical testing of a technology that gauges air pressure from the sound made by tapping on a tire. The company announced that it has developed an experimental pressure ...

These tires usually have many grooves and sipes (which are small slits in the tread) that help them deal with a variety of conditions, such as rain and snow. They tend to last longer than other ...

only 39% correctly identified this tread depth as 1.6mm. Perhaps more worryingly, 26% of survey respondents only check tyre tread when they “remember to do it” or directly before taking a car for its ...

RAC road safety spokesperson Rod Dennis said: "Tyre tread depth gauges are cheap and easy to use, but an even lower cost alternative is to take a 20p piece and place it into the main grooves of ...

Montgomery’s return is the big talking point of the week, and we’ll examine what to expect from that and more in this week’s depth chart projection. Expect another inactive week as the third ...

tire-rim contact, and the complexity of tread patterns. "A tire deforms 40 percent every time it rotates, so that huge amount of displacement, or change, causes those elements to displace ...

A tread depth gauge, available at auto parts stores, is a simple tool that accurately measures the depth in either 32nds of an inch or millimeters. Tires are also equipped with built-in tread wear ...

To face this challenge, this research aims to improve the recyclability of rubber by a novel approach to apply dynamic imine bonds for the silica–rubber coupling in tire tread compounds as an ...
