Abstract

Technological innovations consumer preferences and government legislation have maintained the tyre industry as the biggest consumer of natural rubber. Radialization winter tyres and fuel economy are some of the developments which have increased the consumption of natural rubber in passenger car tyres. The advent of the all-season tyre has improved the competitiveness of NR as a tread material. Partial replacement of OESBR by OENR leads to improvements in rolling resistance and ice traction whilst maintaining wet traction. Overall wear resistance in winter and summer months is shown to be comparable to an all synthetic tread.
