Research on age-resisters and advanced tire materials promises lighter burden from conservation on motorists. A government order cuts crude rubber use by 217000 tons annually, with a 20 percent reduction by year end, possibly standardizing tires and promoting tire reclaiming.
The article notes US dependence on Far East crude rubber and the shift toward research for longer lasting supplies. It highlights the rise of synthetic rubber, with Akron’s tire pioneer offering ameripol tires to the public. Domestic synthetic output remains tiny against vast natural rubber use, prompting intensified devotion to resilient materials to stave off shortages.
The passage traces rubber aging, vulcanization, and the rise of accelerators led by Arthur Marks and Dr. George Oenslager who found aniline oil accelerates vulcanization. Harold Gray and Herbert Winkelmann developed aldehyde-amine age-resisters, enabling independent control of aging and acceleration, yielding durable tires and longer mileage for cars, trucks, and buses.
Advice list outlines tire care to extend life. Maintain correct pressure, check after miles, rotate tires every 5000 miles, keep safe tires on all wheels, avoid high speed cornering, avoid hard braking, regular wheel alignment checks, inspect tires personally, drive gently on hot roads, start smoothly, avoid curb impacts, and stop if steering feels off to inspect tires.
