Abstract

The effect on radial passenger tire performance of the four most common belt materials- fiberglass, Kevlar, rayon and steel- is discussed in light of their contributions to tread band stiffness. It is demonstrated that the belt material differences do have a significant effect on performance related directly to how the material differences affect tread band stiffness.
