From waste to wealth: Sustainable tire practices for a greener world

Tyres are prone to damage, rendering them unusable despite significant remaining tread life. This results in wasted materials and increased pollution. This study investigates factors affecting tyre repair sustainability and proposes design innovations to enhance tyre longevity. By developing versatile tyre designs that prolong life before failing due to damage, we can reduce tyre consumption, lower pollution, and promote sustainability. This research integrates experimental mechanics and Finite Element simulations to address this critical issue.
