Abstract High-performance tyres are designed for higher speed capability, sharper handling, and stronger grip than ordinary touring tyres. In the United States, they are sold
Abstract A tyre’s speed rating is a short letter on the sidewall, yet it summarises a great deal of engineering and regulation. It states the
Abstract Rolling resistance is the energy a tyre loses as it rolls, and it directly affects how much fuel a petrol or diesel vehicle consumes

Abstract Switzerland is a small, wealthy, mountainous country with a demanding driving environment and a highly informed consumer base. Because it has almost no large-scale
Abstract Germany’s Autobahn network is famous worldwide because large sections have no general speed limit. This makes it a unique setting for studying tyre safety.
Abstract Heat is the single most important factor limiting the performance and safety of tyres at high speed. As a tyre rotates faster, it flexes
Abstract Tyre wear is one of the most important factors that determines how long a tyre remains safe and economical. When a vehicle travels at
