New Tech Tire Airless Tire Tests Successfully

New Tech Tire, a division of Scitech Industries has just announced the conclusion of a successful test of the New Tech Tire Airless Tire, a non pneumatic product tested at an industry laboratory in Ohio. The results have shown that the tire achieved a cool and uniform 10-hour run at highway speed at passenger car load.

Mounted on a standard rim with a conventional tire mounting machine, the tire is self-supporting, with internal glass fiber composite ribs supporting the load. It was built & cured in a conventional steam-bladder mold at a commercial tire factory. The composite rib and tire construction are covered by world wide patents.

The company says that because there is no compressed air in the tire punctures are meaningless. This tire can be retreaded over and over again.

"Commercial versions of the New Tech Tire will create a new tire for almost any thing on wheels, from a garden tractor to the largest off the road vehicle,” stated Morris Corn, President.

According to Scitech, some of the benefits this tire could provide to the manufacture and consumer are:
• Better fuel economy, as much as 2 percent or more. This alone may cause EPA to mandate our tire's use.
• Weight saving and cost saving due to no spare, jack, or tools.
• Quicker vehicle handling due to no sidewall warpage for superior safety.
• Tire is manufactured on standard equipment.
• Tire requires only three rubber compounds, a cost savings.
• No calendared belts, a cost saving. With retreading, tire will outlast vehicle, a cost savings.
• Tire mounts on standard rims with standard machine.
• Tire uses no expensive materials, weighs the same as pneumatic tires therefore manufacturing cost should be equal.
