Tire rolling resistance. • ROLLING RESISTANCE is the energy loss resulting from sidewalldeflection and tread deformation Load Deflection – tire sidewall flexes outward Deformation – tread in the contact patch is compressed and deformed Improving tire rolling resistance can reduce fuel consumption.
Each wheel position contributes to rolling resistance. Drive and trailer tires account for over 85% of total rolling resistance.
Various tire components contribute to rolling resistance. Fuel efficiency improvements come primarily from the tire tread.
Tire tread research focuses on two areas to improve rolling resistance. Tread Design Optimization Tread designs that reducetread element deformations Tread Rubber Compounds Compounds that reduce tread element compression and deformation Tread designs and compounds work together to meet performance objectives.
New tires and retreads with Fuel Max™ technology. Up to 4%* actual on-highway fuel savings with strong mileage andperformance for the life of the tire. * In comparison with standard Goodyear tires. Results may vary.
Goodyear continues to improve tire fuel efficiency. 1980’s 1990’s Today’s FE Future FE Technology Technology Technology Technology The next generation of Fuel Max products will provide even greater fuel savings.
Rolling resistance will not be the only improvement. Current Technology Target Future Technology Target Current Product New Product Next generation tires will be designed to enhance overall performance.
Tire and truck maintenance remains important. Tire Inflation Axle Alignment Prevent fuel economy losses with proper tire and truck maintenance.
After fuel cost, fleet managers say their largest uncontrollable issue is on-road tire failures. • Nearly 2/3 of on-highway tire failures come from the trailer position • The G316 trailer tire with DuraSeal Technology® has a built-in tire sealant that quickly seals up to ¼” diameter tread punctures in the tread area Improve uptime and reduce repair costs with DuraSeal Technology®.
