Tires are the only component of a vehicle to transfer forces between the road and the vehicle. Tire parameters such as dimensions, maximum load-carrying capacity, and maximum speed index are usually indicated on its sidewall. In this chapter, we review some topics about tires, wheels, roads, vehicles, and their interactions.

CTB is the #5 U.S. tire manufacturer, and #12 manufacturer worldwide, with annual sales in 2015 of $2.97 billion. Sales in its Americas segment accounted for 85.6% of revenue while 14.4% is attributable to its International business. The company's tires are primarily sold through independent dealers, though CTB does own three tire distributors itself. A recent story in Barron's highlighted U.S. competitor Goodyear (NYSE:GT), but Cooper appears to be a more attractive investment.

Tire and Wheel Safety Issues September 29, 2017 (8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. ) - Orlando, Florida Hotel & Travel Information One of the most important safety critical components on cars, trucks, and aircraft is the pneumatic tire. Vehicle tires primarily control stopping distances on wet and dry roads or runways and strongly influence over-steer/under-steer behavior in handling maneuvers of cars and trucks. The inflated tire-wheel assembly also acts as a pressure vessel that releases a large amount of energy when catastrophically deflated. The tire can also serve as a fulcrum, both directly and indirectly, in contributing to vehicle rollover. This seminar covers these facets of tire safety phenomena. Engineering fundamentals are discussed and illustrated with numerous practical examples and case studies of current public interest. The Pneumatic Tire, a 700-page E-book on CD, edited by Joseph Walter and Alan Gent is included in the course material. This course has been approved by the Accreditation Commission for Traffic
Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) for 7 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). completion of this seminar, accredited reconstructionists should contact ACTAR, 800-809-3818, to request CEUs. As an ACTAR approved course, the fee for CEUs is After completing this seminar attendees will be able to: Describe the most important performance parameters and operating conditions of pneumatic tires related to safety. Use fundamental equations of engineering science to predict and/or explain tire-vehicle interactions related to safety. This course is designed principally for technical professionals in the automobile, tire, and wheel industries and their suppliers. In addition, some case studies and examples involve truck, agriculture, and aircraft tires. An undergraduate degree in a technical field or commensurate experience is desirable.

Walter Dr. Joseph D. Walter is presently on the faculty of The University of Akron's College of Engineering as an adjunct professor where he teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in both the Mechanical and Civil Engineering Departments. Prior to joining academia, Dr. Walter was managing director of Bridgestone-Firestone's Technical Center Europe located in Rome, Italy, and served on the Board of Directors of Bridgestone-Firestone Europe located in Brussels, Belgium. He has served as a mechanical engineering evaluator for the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, ABET, and has also served on the original Committee of the National Academy of Sciences that addressed the future fuel economy (CAFE) goals for the nation, which is detailed in the 1992 book Automotive Fuel Economy-How Far Should We Go?
He is a member of several professional organizations, including SAE and the Rubber Division of the American Chemical Society. Dr. Walter received his Ph.D. from Virginia Tech and an M.B.A. from The University of Akron.SAE Members: $648.00 - $729.00 You must complete all course contact hours and successfully pass the learning assessment to obtain CEUs.
