Experimental Activity for the Analysis of Tires Tread Responses at Different Conditions with a Dynamic Dial Indicator

The knowledge of tires tread viscoelastic behaviour plays a fundamental role in automotive to optimize vehicle performance and safety. These properties are usually characterized by means of Dynamic Mechanical Analysis [1] which implies the testing of compound sample that can be obtained by destroying the tire of interest or manufactured in different condition respect to the final product provided by tiremakers.
