Summary:

Radial tires now approach 80% of the North American commercial tire business due to superior treadwear and fuel economy. One of the last areas for radial tire market penetration is the city bus market.A radial tire is less tolerant of high brake heat temperatures because:Radial tires are developed to withstand a maximum continuous running temperature of 90 degrees C. Exceeding this temperature for short periods causes no problem; however, longer exposure may cause a loss of material component strength. Therefore, it is important to know the heat flow characteristics between a brake drum and the tire.In this paper, various drum-bead heat studies will be discussed. From four city bus studies, the heat flow rate between a 16.5-inch brake drum and a 22.5-inch wheel will be presented. Other studies compare a 22.5-inch and a 24.5-inch wheel on the same brake drum, steel versus aluminum wheels, and wheel and drum cool-down rates
