Although reductions in rolling resistance are always in the forefront of improved tire technology, good treadwear remains a primary concern for customers desiring longer life from tires.  At SRCE, we recognize this ongoing customer requirement and are focusing much of our product development activities toward finding new grades of carbon black that can deliver longer tread life without sacrificing hysteretic or traction properties.  Several of these grades, such as SR129 and SR155, are already in commercial production and are available for sampling and evaluation.  Please Contact Us for a sample to see how these blacks will perform in your particular application.
