The tyre is the most important part which is the only part of the car or other vehicles

that touches the road. So, part of tyre must be emphasized in terms of designation. Tyres must
strike a balance between traction, comfort, durability, energy efficiency and overall cost. As a
result of these competing needs, tyres are more complex to design and build than you might
think. Take, for instance, a smart phone. It seems far more complex than a tyre. But actually,
throughout development a similar amount of research and technology goes into the
tyre(Anonymous, n.d.).

Nowadays there were many accidents happened due to the problem of tyre. Driver
mostly not taking care about the tyre that will affect their safety when on the road especially
when in raining day. People who was not care about safety will use re-treaded tyre because it
cheaper than new tyre and it is the most environmentally-friendly way of recycling rubber
tyres, because one of tyre can be retreaded up to 10 times, definitely extending its service life.
Retreads save hundreds of millions of gallons of oil in production and cut carbon emissions
and landfill. But, re-treaded tyre is not good because of the history of the original tyre is
unknown (how often the tyre has been retreaded and under what conditions it has been
driven), less overall structural strength than a new tyre and the potential for the retread to
come loose from the tyre, potential instability at high speed and inferior wet grip, durability
and braking performance (Industrial Centre, n.d.).

Star online: Danger of retreaded tyre

 Second problem cause of tyre is driver who was drive car with high speed and not
suitable with the maximum rating speed of the tyre. Malaysia is a country with speed limits,
but most Malaysians see those bright red signs as a challenge to exceed the limit. The speed
limit is designed to prevent accidents from happening, not as a target to beat. Furthermore,
when it rains in Malaysia, the roads get extremely slippery and visibility becomes low. This
only makes speeding even more dangerous to driver and to the other motorists around. But,
the problem is the engine speed of vehicles is not laterally to the maximum speed of tyre.
When driver drive the car more than maximum rating speed of tyre it will affect the grip and
pressure of the tyre.

Speeding on the road

As an engineer, we must come out with the solution to improve the problem of
maximum speed tyre which is will overcome the accidents happen cause of tyre problem.
One of the ways is design the suitable maximum speed of tyre which are laterally to engine
speed so that the better performance and safety can be develop.

Driving pleasure for dry road grip

One of the main factors contributing to precise steering control and reactivity is the stiffness
of the tread design (Michelin, n.d.).
Tyre specification:

The sidewall provides valuable information about the tyre including the
specifications, the brand, and the type of construction. All numbers are standardized and
recognized by tyre manufacturers around the world.
