The losses due to hysteresis also depend strongly on the material properties of the wheel or tire and the surface. For example, a rubber tire will have higher rolling resistance on a paved road than a steel railroad wheel on a steel rail. Also, sand on the ground will give more rolling resistance than concrete. Soil rolling resistance factor is ...
The tan colored, natural rubber lacks carbon black to decrease rolling resistance, as its added wear resistance isn't needed in the sidewall. [48] Skin wall. Tires with very little rubber, if any, covering the sidewall are called "skin wall". This reduces rolling resistance by reducing sidewall stiffness at the cost of reducing damage ...
SAE J1269 is a standard test defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers [1] to measure the rolling resistance of tires under conditions of thermal equilibrium. [2] [3] SAE J2452 is an alternative procedure for measuring rolling resistance under conditions similar to a vehicle coastdown event, where the tire is in a roughly isothermal condition (but not thermal equilibrium).
Your tires actually play a surprising role in how fast you ride, and what you think you know about rolling resistance is probably wrong.
In a non-scientific study (I looked at tires available from a national chain that fit my car), 85 percent of LRR tires had an “A” rating for traction, compared to 87 percent of Non-LRR tires.
Low rolling resistance tires are designed to reduce the energy loss as a tire rolls, decreasing the required rolling effort — and in the case of automotive applications, improving vehicle fuel efficiency as approximately 5–15% of the fuel consumed by a typical gas car may be used to overcome rolling resistance.
“The low rolling resistance tire market is booming as consumers and manufacturers prioritize fuel efficiency and sustainability. With a significant CAGR and growing demand from the automotive sector, these tires are set to play a crucial role in reducing fuel consumption and environmental impact.” - says Nikhil Kaitwade, Associate Vice President at Future Market Insights (FMI).
Rolling resistance is the main key factor in measuring the energy efficiency of a tyre and has direct influence on the fuel consumption of a vehicle. A set of tyres of the green class "A" compared to a "G" class can reduce fuel consumption by 9% [3] of a passenger car; even more for trucks.
