Analysis of Rolling Resistance of Tires with Run Flat Insert

Article Preview

Abstract:

Run flat properties are required for tires intended for special applications like military or rescue vehicles. Run-Flat inserts make possible to drive a car or truck, with certain restrictions, also when inflation pressure is very low or non-existing (after tire damage). Rolling resistance of tires rolling on the inserts increases considerably in relation to the rolling resistance of properly inflated tires. This paper presents results of rolling resistance measurements for such conditions.
