Automated tire pressure maintenance systems: GoodyearRecent Research Landscape

Precise sub-millimeter layer thickness and conductivity control during extrusion remains the primary bottleneck for multi-compound tread performance and durability.

What technical problems is Goodyear addressing in Automated tire pressure maintenance systems?

Tread layer thickness inaccuracy

(6)evidences

Manual or contact-based measurement methods fail to provide the sub-millimeter precision required to monitor internal layer dimensions and conductivity during high-speed coextrusion.

Sidewall groove structural deformation

(1)evidences

Standard pneumatic tires naturally lose internal air pressure over time due to permeation and temperature fluctuations, leading to reduced fuel efficiency and safety.
