Safety test 8-year-old rubber

Friend tire shop frankly admitted that we need tires Yokohama Advan A048 is, but she is already 8 years old. Shop know they keep the tires properly, on a warm warehouse. Dressed, I decided to check its safety.

So, safety test eight tires Yokohama A048 in 225/45/17 dimension on peredneprivodnogo car power 231 HP, in terms of the circuit.

To touch the lid are not accustomed to hard. Road rubber, but the tread pattern gives the impression of pseudolite, the main thing that sellers are not told that all Sportivnye as tough because the sport tires, softer civil.

The integrity of the rubber.
We pumped the wheel up to 2.0 ATM. and rolled under the load, until the pressure rose to 2.7 ATM.; the goal was to overheating of the wheels that would understand if they can carry the load, not burst, is not deformed if.
Everything is fine. After 90 km of high-speed load — no deformations, no cracks, the pressure of the hold.

It can be concluded that the minimum safety — normal. As the spare wheel, just has the right to use.

Dry the test load.
Unfortunately, the 8 year old tires are not safe! On a dry track (added lateral load) vegetali a barrel of gasoline (TOTEK Tornado-102). We changed the pressure of trying to achieve better handling and temperature. Despite the fact that the outside rubber is heated, the softer it became. The main factor why an 8 year old rubber for civilian driving is not safe — tire warming not entirely, and only the top layer, and detachment occurs from the cord; it splits and breaks in pieces.

UPD:
When I was recently at the Michelin plant , it was found that for 8 years has greatly changed the composition of the rubber. The share of say decreased significantly, increased the proportion of silica and various other components. And silica is partly responsible that the pieces of rubber didn't burst.

Wet asphalt.
At the first spot of rain, the rubber is immediately floated. Drainage grooves so hard, that do not expel water. In conditions of wet asphalt, but even in the absence of puddles, the car accelerates without Bush, but the braking distance at the speed of 80km/h is 25 meters long, compared to the same fresh rubber this year. The sidewall was so hard that not podrumyanitsya, and at the helm (90') just does not respond, no hook.

The ground.
Dirt track there, so we tried the handling on the ground: dry ground you can go safely, but wet and wet — absolutely not. Tread grooves are not cleaned the car and go rowing on the helm's not responding.

Of course, we put fresh rubber in 2016. So we got a difference in braking.

and about the friction heard? the greater the mass the greater the friction. As a result, the increase of inertia with increasing mass, kompensiruet increase friction.

S = V2a/2g?,
where:
S — stopping distance in metres;
Va — the speed of the vehicle at the time of the beginning of braking in km/h;
g — acceleration of gravity, equal to 9.81 m/sec2;
? — coefficient of adhesion between tyre and road.

G
Ghostwraith 07.08.19

ahahhahah, as well as the law of inertia? body higher weight, harder to stop than light! Oh the sadness...

S
Sergejj29 07.08.19

Yes, it's in all of these factors and still have hundreds, but the masses have nothing to do with.

G
Ghostwraith 07.08.19

read carefully, and ponder what is written, namely, about the mass, the matter in suspension, in the case of ABS, it's in the tyres as the road surface, it's in the trash, it's in a sideways air flow, the temperature of the road and it is wet or dry, the thing is the reaction of the driver and so on...

S
Sergejj29 07.08.19

so you write, it's not in mass, in suspension, brake system and so on.
The same empty car and loaded up to the stop stop in the same way, provided that the braking system can lock the wheels. Because the difference is still not masse, and other nuances.

G
Ghostwraith 07.08.19

view the tests of different brands on the same rubber. And you will be surprised how much can be a big difference. My car weighs in 1799, and let the brake at 50km per hour, and 9.9 meters on smooth asphalt. At a friend's 1300 kg, the braking let up on the meter more. tread width is the same bus from the same manufacturer. When I will start thinking with his head? Or abs and other assistance systems braking ( suspension for example) a marketing ploy? In reality, the mass is always there! Theory leave pedestrians

S
Sergejj29 07.08.19

Ghostwraith

wow, I thought that plays a combination of factors :) my car is 1800kg brakes at 60 km per hour, 9.9 meter, put the same tires on another car, it will show different result

in fact, the result will be in the aisles of measurement error, if the braking system works the same way.
Have more than once discussed the fact that the formula for braking distance no mass, and if you discard some of the nuances that the braking distance with the same speed that the loaded truck that Lada or BMW will be about the same if rubber biolee at least comparable quality. Where it was a video test trucks loaded and not loaded against the minivan, so no difference is not revealed.

and even I do not understand rubber started razletaetsya after doreski or not, and how it is formulated is not clear, on the dry they were federales on dorisanne or still intact?

no matter where and how, every thing has an expiration date.the maximum for the rubber is 5 years under ideal storage

5 years is the shelf life after which it needs another 5 years to skate. don't confuse one with the other.

S
Sergejj29 07.08.19

Vovanof

it all depends on where it was stored) I have a new Michelin pilot sports which skated almost to zero, and still drive on the tire is 01год b-a.d-cd.net/2722d06s-480.jpg
took 2 years ago))) f-a.d-cd.net/d85fda8s-960.jpg
only small cracks on the tyre sides
with Germany brought
I suspect that is not in the sun lay
Lobo Michelin is Michelin, not this ...))))

Michelin certainly gives the longest period of storage and use of tires from all manufacturers, plus a purely wear and tear, often Michelin wears out slower than similar tires from other manufacturers. I agree Michelin is Michelin, if you want the community not for tests but for real driving, then Michelin is fully justifies its price tag.

S
Sergejj29 07.08.19

komisaroff

by ROS. standards 5 years, the Germans, too, but the same Michelin gives a guarantee of 10 years... with the note that this is not the expiration date is the time by which tires can be sold as new!
in General, a lot depends on the quality of tires and storage conditions...
well, the main factor of marketing) to dissolve the buyer — bread marketers

no on the website of Michelin, writes about the exploitation of 10 years, with the annual thorough inspections. Shelf life(before the tires can be sold as new) usually 4-5 years.

Had doubts before reading this article, as I have a brand new tire MICHELIN PILOT PRIMATE 235/45 R 17 put on the new drive (BMW) -bought 7 years ago a set( 5 wheels) and the wheel still lay (inflated) and was thinking to buy this same new tire on avito found one the same (but do not know what year it is) but the price for MICHELIN is very normal(4 thousand rubles. new), and thought purchase and will be on before the perfect couple but when now went to the pantry and looked at the YEAR of manufacture of your wheels - upset — 2001 wheel ...now I'm afraid to put it.And look at and touch the rubber, IDEALLY, and stored as needed (warm and no dampness was inflated on disk). What a pity — now apparently it(the wheel) will remain as a spare ...

Thank you. I've looked at. Silica — precipitated silica, a "white soot". Aka Aerosil, he neosil. Absolutely inert white fine powder white. Is used as a filler in a rubber compound anti-caking for the food products and premixes (additives for feed), and so on.
About the interaction at the molecular level is overkill IMHO.
We work with aèrosilom and neoceram. This is trade names, and silica . Prepare a premix, as well as components for the glass industry, where the flowability of the materials is important for accurate dosage of components.

N
NoT 07.08.19

OK Google

silica is a material which in its composition resembles ordinary sand, however, it is located in a different physical condition. At the molecular level, this component interacts with other molecules and makes the protector more rough, which improves grip.

Silica acts as a kind of antifreeze, it makes the tire more resistant to strong frosts and temperatures are warm. It is also worth noting that silica affects the elasticity and softness of the tire, it is not only a filler but also an active component that strengthens the density of the tyre.
