Tires have gotten quite a bit better. I have 50k miles in 2years on my current tires and they look like they are basically brand new still. I don't see any reason they won't make it to 70k+ miles or ...

F1-inspired simulation and smart tire sensors are changing vehicle dynamics where the FSC-certified natural rubber hits the road. Tires, like seemingly every other part of the modern automobile, have ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (Jan. 8, 2001)—Researchers at Penn State University have developed a computer simulation that will allow tire designers to perform virtual road tests while tires are still in the ...

HANOVER, Germany — Continental A.G. is investing in a dynamic driving simulator in order to enhance the efficiency of its original equipment tire development process. Conti plans to install the ...

INDIANAPOLIS—The use of simulation has made great strides the past few decades to where it is an integral part of the tire development process, but more work remains, according to the keynote speaker ...

ROME—It's not just that Bridgestone Corp.'s biggest innovations could find their way into the market sooner, they can make the journey more sustainably too, thanks to the company's continued ...

LMS and the Automotive Business Unit of TNO recently announced that they have agreed to integrate TNO’s Tyre models into the LMS Virtual.Lab Motion simulation software. As a result, users of LMS ...

Much of the R&D for real-time driving simulation has focused on accurate models for the kinematics and dynamics of vehicles. The fidelity of simulation, however, depends just as much on the dynamics ...

To generate a numerical simulation of the dynamic response, values must be set for the symbolic model parameters. Input functions, in this case the prescribed steering angle, must also be defined. The ...

I recently had my car serviced at the dealer. Although I'm not due for replacement yet, my rep and I started talking about tires. He told me that the tire your car comes with from the manufacturer has ...
