Description

With the continuous development of large-sized motor graders by OEMs and the continuous improvement of technology, the market share of large-sized motor graders has gradually increased. As one of its important components, the demand for tires has also increased, and new requirements for tire performance have been put forward. Large-sized motor graders such as XCMG GR5505 and CAT 24 are currently mainly used for road leveling and road maintenance in large mines. The performance requirements for tires are mainly as follows:

[0003] 1. Different from transport equipment, the operation mode of the grader determines that the tires need to provide strong grip during operation;

[0004] 2. To prevent the tire's grip from decreasing due to mud filling the tread grooves on soft and muddy roads, the tire needs to have better mud discharge and self-cleaning performance;

[0005] 3. The main working scene at present is large-scale mines. When loaded, the motor grader runs at a low speed. However, when it goes to the working area without load, the transportation distance is long and the speed is fast, and the tires have the problem of heat generation and delamination.

[0006] 4. Large-sized graders have higher power and output torque. When the tires grip the ground, the tread blocks are subjected to greater force, resulting in greater deformation. Long-term and large-scale bending and deformation will cause cracks at the bottom of the groove.
