Abstract

The most critical factor for maximizing tire life and minimizing the chance of tire failure is maintaining the proper inflation pressure for given tire size and load. The objective of this paper is to optimization of vertical stiffness and implement it do increase capacity of tire normal force and then improve vehicle stability. The stiffness of passenger car tire P135/70R12 in the radial direction has been measured. This information is based on the measurement of single tire at inflation pressure [1.3, 1.7, 2, 2.4 and 2.7bar ] and vertical load range [400,500,600,700 and 800kg] A finite element analysis of tire using Ansys is used to analyze the behavior of stationary tire vertically loaded against a stiff horizontal surface at different load, under static condition
