  • 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.

    WelcomeWelcome ToTo TheThe World’sWorld’s MostMost BeautifulBeautiful and...and... BestBest PerformingPerforming CustomCustom DesignedDesigned TiresTires Bill Chapman Founder Diamond Back Classics I know what you are thinking! The tires on Bill’s Corvette are not correct. It’s not a show car-it is for my enjoyment. That’s the beauty of Diamond Back-you can get what’s period correct or you can get what you like. Custom whitewalls are not a problem. I offer many correct styles for the 60’s and 70’s cars or if you want something special, just let us know. My 2009 catalog features 16 product lines from 13” to 22” and anything in between. That’s more product than all the competitor’s combined. I’m also introducing two new top end product lines-the Diamond Back MX and the Diamond Back III. Both are built in North America by Michelin, the world’s most recognized tire manufacturer. If you’re going to spend over $200 per tire why not get the very best? Prices on the rest of my products will have a small increase and some will remain unchanged. Check out my warranty. It is the most solid, easy to understand warranty in the industry. My new extended warranty for $4.75 per tire is a smart move to protect your investment. As the year of the Great Recession begins, my goal remains unchanged-build the best looking, best performing product at a fair price. Thanks for all of your support!

  • Correct Tires for 1953-82 Corvettes

Finding an original NOS (New Old Stock) tire or, T heaven forbid, a full set of four plus a spare for some early Corvettes can be next to impossible, even with the internet and the vast number of parts ads in many ma- jor magazines. There are still some original tires out there, with these tires usually be- ing found in old tire warehouses or stumbled upon when a large car parts collection is liq- uidated. In either case, the sometimes-long search can be quite frustrating. The fact of the matter is that the types and sizes of tires that were used on Corvettes from 1953 through 1982 are quite varied in BF Goodrich Wide Whitewall construction and size.

  • Hydroplaning Analysis for Tire Rolling Over Water Film with Various Thicknesses Using the LS-DYNA Fluid-Structure Interactive Scheme
    Copyright © 2009 Tech Science Press CMC, vol.11, no.1, pp.33-58, 2009 Hydroplaning Analysis for Tire Rolling over Water Film with Various Thicknesses Using the LS-DYNA Fluid-Structure Interactive Scheme Syh-Tsang Jenq1;2 and Yuen-Sheng Chiu2 Abstract: Current work studies the transient hydroplaning behavior of 200 kPa inflated pneumatic radial tires with various types of tread patterns. Tires were nu- merically loaded with a quarter car weight of 4 kN, and then accelerated from rest rolling over a water film with a thickness of 5, 10 and 15 mm on top of a flat pavement. Tire structure is composed of outer rubber tread and inner fiber rein- forcing composite layers. The Mooney-Rivlin constitutive law and the classical laminated theory (CLT) were, respectively, used to describe the mechanical be- havior of rubber material and composite reinforcing layers. The tire hydroplaning phenomenon was analyzed by the commercial finite element code - LS-DYNA. The Arbitrary Lagrangian & Eulerian (ALE) formulation was adopted to depict the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) behavior. Three different tire tread patterns, i.e. the smooth (blank) tread pattern and the 9 and 18 mm wide longitudinally-grooved tread patterns, were constructed to perform the current transient hydroplaning anal- ysis. Simulated dynamic normal contact force and hydroplaning velocity of tire with a prescribed smooth tread pattern were obtained. The computed results were in good agreement with the numerical and test results given by Okano, et al. (2001) for tire running over 10 mm thick water fluid film. In addition, dynamic contact force of a smooth tread pattern tire rolling on a dry flat pavement was also found to be close to the result reported by Nakajima, et al.

  • Aircraft Tire Data
    Aircraft tire Engineering Data Introduction Michelin manufactures a wide variety of sizes and types of tires to the exacting standards of the aircraft industry. The information included in this Data Book has been put together as an engineering and technical reference to support the users of Michelin tires. The data is, to the best of our knowledge, accurate and complete at the time of publication. To be as useful a reference tool as possible, we have chosen to include data on as many industry tire sizes as possible. Particular sizes may not be currently available from Michelin. It is advised that all critical data be verified with your Michelin representative prior to making final tire selections. The data contained herein should be used in conjunction with the various standards ; T&RA1, ETRTO2, MIL-PRF- 50413, AIR 8505 - A4 or with the airframer specifications or military design drawings. For those instances where a contradiction exists between T&RA and ETRTO, the T&RA standard has been referenced. In some cases, a tire is used for both civil and military applications. In most cases they follow the same standard. Where they do not, data for both tires are listed and identified. The aircraft application information provided in the tables is based on the most current information supplied by airframe manufacturers and/or contained in published documents. It is intended for use as general reference only. Your requirements may vary depending on the actual configuration of your aircraft. Accordingly, inquiries regarding specific models of aircraft should be directed to the applicable airframe manufacturer.
