  Recycling Tires: Uses for scrap tires: Crumb rubber   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The tire industry consumes 65 percent of all rubber compounds produced worldwide, but it is not a candidate for extensive re-use of recycled tire rubber with today's technology.
Larger and requiring less processing than crumb rubber, tire chips are being used in place of conventional construction material such as road fill, gravel, crushed rock or sand in a variety of construction and civil engineering projects.
Tire chips are successfully used as fill for embankments and retaining walls, drainage material and daily cover at solid waste landfills and as an insulating layer beneath roads and behind retaining walls.

 Tires - Wikicars
The tire was heated in a forge, placed on the wheel and quenched, causing the metal to shrink, which drew the rim against the spokes and provided stiffness to the wheel.
Tires are inflated through a valve, typically a Schrader valve on automobiles and most bicycle tires, or a Presta valve on high performance bicycles.
Slick tires are not legal for use on public roads in most jurisdictions due to their extremely poor wet weather characteristics, but cheater slicks which circumvent the literal wording of the law, if not the intent, are available.

 Measuring Thickness of Rubber Tires
Because rubber is very attenuating to high frequency sound waves, and because of the complex pattern of echoes that are generated by the internal structure of most tires, these measurements require special consideration.
Successful ultrasonic measurement of total tire thickness as opposed to the depth of the ply cords depends on the structure of the ply cords.
In some types of tires where there are many layers of ply cords and/or the ply cords are very close together, not enough sound energy will reach the inside wall to permit measurement of the total thickness.

 Scrap Tires - Material Description
A tire shredder is a machine with a series of oscillating or reciprocating cutting edges, moving back and forth in opposite directions to create a shearing motion, that effectively cuts or shreds tires as they are fed into the machine.
Crumb rubber can be used to modify the asphalt binder (e.g., increase its viscosity) in a process in which the rubber is blended with asphalt binder (usually in the range of 18 to 25 percent rubber).
Tire shreds are basically flat, irregularly shaped tire chunks with jagged edges that may or may not contain protruding, sharp pieces of metal, which are parts of steel belts or beads.

 ABBA Rubber International - the magic of rubber
More than 200 pounds of rubber make it possible for you to comfortably travel at high speeds in your car, and less than half of that 200 pounds is in the tires.
Rubber is the natural choice because it is flexible, strong, leakproof, and has a high coefficient of friction.
Rubber is used to safely contain the acid in batteries, line corrosive-liquid tanks, and form hoses and valves that contend with fuels and other caustic materials.

 tires
Tire retreading, as a form of recycling, dates back to the early days of the trucking industry, and developed out of economic common sense rather than environmental concern.
Rubber recycled from tires (about 40 percent of the total material) is now being used to make a wide variety of products.
Recycled rubber can also be added to virgin rubber and plastics to produce products such as laundry baskets, mud flaps, athletic and door mats, truck-bed liners, grocery-cart wheels, and retread tires.

 Choosing 4WD Sedan Tires
With this type of rubber tire, traction increases gradually with increased heat, but it's more related to the softening of the rubber and not due to rubber break-down as is the case with the rubber used for making temperature tires.
The traction tire is of the type that does not depend on the temperature to soften the rubber to increase traction.
After the warm-up, the rear tires lost their grip; shortly thereafter, the car was pushing under-power and I was losing the rear in the turns; It was "spin city..." I decided to experiment with other combinations, so I changed to firm in the front and med/soft in the rear.

 [No title]
Foam tires unlike rubber ones don't use an insert, instead the entire tire is actually made of a homogeneous foam-rubber compound that is molded in the shape of a doughnut and glued to a plastic rim.
More on the cost of ownership: The main disadvantages of foam tires are that they tend to give less run-time than a rubber tire, and the rims are not as robust as those used for rubber tires.
To measure the tire hardness you roll the durometer on top of the tire; the compression force that the foam has exerted on the steel pin can be read on the dial.

 The Air Free Tire Data and Testing Center
The psi of the rubber tires given are at the point where the tire had the lowest rolling resistance except for the Air Free tires.
The Michelin tire tested is fairly representative of the high quality rubber tires in that high quality rubber tires for the most part, will want to fully come back to the original position.
The more the tire travels back and forth, the more energy is required to overcome this and is the reason why avid cyclists would keep higher psi in their tires.

 Joyrides | Blimps, whitewalls and radials -- How the tire industry developed
The rubber and cotton that were the lifeblood of the industry had to be transported from halfway around the world, to Akron, Ohio, a landlocked town that had only limited rail transportation.
The pneumatic tire quickly won wide usage because of its characteristics of cushioning, traction and smoothness, but it was also troublesome because of its vulnerability to punctures, blowouts and rapid wear.
Radial tire design was a stronger and longer lasting architecture than conventional cross-ply construction, characterized by: a crown that works independently of the sidewalls and steel plies running perpendicular to the tread.
