  • 1. What Is Uptis and What Advantages Does It Offer?
    Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is Uptis and what advantages does it offer? Uptis (acronym standing for “Unique Puncture-proof Tire System”) is an assembled airless wheel structure. Uptis has been made possible through Michelin’s mastery and expertise with tire mechanics and high-tech materials. It also represents an evolution of Michelin’s expertise in TWEEL technology. Uptis can be thought of as the first in a new generation of airless solutions. This technology for passenger vehicles offers a number of advantages: ▪ Car drivers feel safer and more secure on the road due to the reduced risk of flat tires and other air loss failures that result from punctures or road hazards. ▪ Fleet owners and professional vehicle drivers optimize their business productivity (no downtime from flats, near-zero levels of maintenance). ▪ Raw material use is reduced, which in turn reduces waste. 2. Why do car drivers feel more at ease with Uptis? Uptis is designed to be impervious to traditional tire failures due to air loss. It does not use compressed air. It therefore eliminates the need for regular inflation pressure maintenance. 3. What is the strategy behind Uptis? Uptis represents Michelin’s vision for the future of mobility. Michelin illustrated its vision of sustainable mobility through the Vision concept1, which the Group unveiled at the Movin’On World Summit on Sustainable Mobility in 2017. Uptis shows how Michelin is adhering to its roadmap for research and development, which comprises these four main pillars of innovation: Airless, Connected, 3D-printed and 100% Sustainable (i.e., renewable or bio-sourced materials).

  • What You Need to Know About Mounting Radial Tires on Classic Vehicle Rims
    What You Need to Know About Mounting Radial Tires on Classic Vehicle Rims Over the past 100 years, tires, and the wheels that support them, have gone through significant changes as a result of technical innovations in design, technology and materials. No single factor affects the handling and safety of a car’s ride more than the tire and the wheel it is mounted on and how the two work together as a unit. One nagging question that has been the subject of a lot of anecdotal evidence, speculation, and even more widespread rumor is whether rims designed for Bias ply tires can handle the stresses placed on them by Radial ply tires. And the answer is - it depends. It depends on how the rim was originally designed and built as well as whether the rim has few enough cycles on it, and how it has been driven. But most importantly it depends upon the construction of the tire and how it transmits the vehicle's load to where the rubber meets the road. In this paper, we want to educate you on the facts - not the wives tales or just plain bad information - about how Bias and Radial tires differ in working with the rim to provide a safe ride. Why is there a possible rim concern between Radial and Bias Tires? The fitting of radial tires, to wheels and rims originally designed for bias tires, is an application that may result in rim durability issues. Even same-sized bias and radial tires stress a rim differently, despite their nearly identical dimensions.

  • Lowering Fleet Operating Costs Through Fuel
    LOWERING FLEET OPERATING KEY TAKEAWAYS COSTS THROUGH FUEL EFFICIENT Taking rolling resistance, maintenance, TIRES AND RETREADS wheel position and tires, both new and WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO RUN LEANER retread, into account allows companies to maximize fuel efficiency. Author: Josh Abell, PhD • Rolling resistance has a direct and significant correlation to the fuel A retreaded tire can be just as fuel efficient, economy of the vehicle. or even better, than a new tire. • Tires become more fuel efficient as they are worn due to lessened Rolling Resistance: Why it Matters rolling resistance. Rolling resistance is a measurement of the energy it takes to roll a tire on a surface. • Even among new and retread tires For truck tires, rolling resistance has a direct and significant correlation to the fuel claiming to be Smartway certified, economy of the vehicle. Whether you run a single truck or an entire fleet, tire rolling actual rolling resistance will vary. resistance is a crucial element that should be taken into account to minimize fuel costs. Since fuel costs are one of the biggest expenses in trucking operations, as tire rolling resistance decreases, your savings add up. Tire rolling resistance is measured in a lab using realistic and well-established test parameters relied upon by tire/vehicle manufacturers and government regulators. From this testing, original tires and retreaded tires can be quantified by a rolling resistance coefficient, known as “Crr.” The lower the Crr, the better. Studies have shown that a reduction in Crr can result in real-world fuel savings. For example, a 10% reduction in Crr for your truck tires can reduce your fuel consumption by 3%, and lead to savings of $1,000 or more per truck per year.1 © 2017 Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC.

  • Standards and Requirements for Scrap Tire Transporters
    Division of Materials and Waste Management December 2018 Guidance Document #640 Standards and Requirements for Scrap Tire Transporters Purpose This educational guideline addresses owner and operator responsibilities when registering and operating a scrap tire transportation business which either picks up tires in Ohio or delivers tires to an Ohio destination and is intended to guide readers through some of the major requirements of the scrap tire rules. However, it is only a guide and the appropriate sections of the Ohio Administrative Code should be read in their entirety. Applicable Rules and Statutes Ohio Revised Code 3734 Ohio Administrative Code 3745-27-54 through 3745-27-56 Who must register? Chapter 3734.83 of the Ohio Revised Code states that “….no person shall transport scrap tires anywhere in this state unless the business or governmental entity that employs the person first registers with and obtains a registration certificate from the director of environmental protection.” It should be noted that there are several exclusions from the requirement to become a registered scrap tire transporter which are outlined below. However, if a transporter does not meet one of the specific exclusions provided below, then registration with Ohio EPA is required. The requirement to become a registered scrap tire transporter is not required if any of the following apply: 1. If 10 or less scrap tires are transported per load; 2. If tires are transported only for the transporter’s own agricultural use or in producing or processing aggregates; 3. If the transporter is a solid waste hauler who transports 10 or fewer tires which are incidental to the solid waste load; 4.
