“…Tire performance and its contact relationship with the road have a significant influence on vehicle performance, including the braking force, handling, and comfort. [1][2][3][4][5] Tires are supposed to fulfill the following functions: support vehicle weight, absorb forces, provide vibration damping, cushion the vehicle over surface irregularities, contribute to cornering stability providing adequate steering control, provide sufficient traction for driving, and braking in different surfaces, grant operational safety. [6][7][8] To fulfill these functions properly, tires are required to have some characteristics such as having low rolling resistance, rolling noise reduction, present excellent adhesion on wet surfaces, minimally heat up.…”
