RADIAL PLY PNEUMATIC TIRES AND PROCESS FOR THEIR MANUFACTURE

摘要

The carcass plies of a radial ply pneumatic tire are made from cord reinforced rubber which has a high green strength. The rubber has labile cross-links therein, which confer high green strength on the rubber, but which are labile to heat and shear, so that the uncured rubber processes normally. Such high green strength rubbers are better able to stand up to forces experienced during radial tire manufacture.
