Ultra-tech tires
They look the same, but they’re not: modern Electric vehicles require special tires, Very different from petrol or diesel cars. This is because the presence of the battery increases the weight of the vehicle, so structure Sections of the tire must be reinforced to avoid irregular wear due to the greater weight.
Powerful processing power
Not only that: electric motors are more powerful than traditional motors and require excellent grip, just in case sudden acceleration (or emergency braking). Given that the car is so quiet, you can hear the noise from the passenger compartment There is more noise Because tires roll on asphalt, special tire construction is required to minimize the noise produced when rolling on the road. But that’s not enough: the tires must also have very low rolling resistance to save energy and increase driving range.
From Porsche to Volkswagen
One of the most famous companies in the world is the Taiwanese company CST Tires, which presented at THE TIRE fair, the world’s main tire event in Cologne, its latest innovation, the Saleks E-X1, which has been adopted by countless series of models, come on Tesla to Subaru, Through Volkswagen ID, Audi e-tron, Hyundai Ioniq and Porsche Taycan.
The fight against noise
They are a new generation of tires with unprecedented performance and durability. The latest developments in the industry. The name already explains why “Salix” Stands for Silica (silica composite technology), All-around (all-around performance on dry and wet surfaces), Low (low rolling resistance), Engineered (designed and manufactured specifically for electric vehicles), Kinder (more friendly and environmentally conscious) ), Silent (reduces noise).
One of the secrets is a so-called “Diamond Structural Mix”, which mixes rubber with various chemical ingredients at low temperatures, improving the distribution of silica in the tread by 30%, allowing it to run at even speeds Evenly distributed.
Excellent work in the wind tunnel
In terms of innovation, what we do is wind tunnel Its aerodynamic flow is improved through a small diamond-like pattern to reduce drag and accelerate air flow across the entire surface, helping to reduce energy consumption and increase driving range.
And for reduce noise There are narrow grooves on the shoulders of the tread to eliminate resonance (another typical cause of tire noise), and other devices such as extra padding on the shoulders and liners on the inside of the tire to absorb internal noise. Simply put, EV tires look like any other tire, but they are completely different. Now, thanks to CST Tires, we know that number too. (verb)
