Tyre manufacturing
From raw materials to tyres
For the manufacture of our tyres, we start with more than 200 raw materials, taking care to use more and more sustainable materials.
From these raw materials, the first step is to make materials with very specific mechanical and chemical properties. It is these properties that enable us to achieve good performance. In particular: good grip, good strength and good sustainability.
The typical radial tyre consists of nine main parts.
1- Inner liner:
An airtight layer of synthetic rubber to ensure airtightness.
2- Carcass Ply:
The layer above the inner liner, consisting of thin textile fiber cords (or cables) bonded into the rubber.
3- Lower bead area:
This is where the rubber tyre grips the metal rim. The power from the engine and braking effort is transmitted from the rim of the tyre to the contact area with the road's surface.
