SUMMARY
just-auto estimates that the global tyre market for passenger cars, light-,
medium- and heavy-duty truck applications accounted for nearly 1.29bn tyres
sold in 2007, of which 948m (73%) were replacement tyres.
Although only one-quarter of road tyres are specified and bought by the
vehiclemakers, this segment of the market is significant as it drives
technical development and has a major influence over the aftermarket. The
popularity of sports utility vehicles (SUVs), minivans and cross-over vehicles
has prompted manufacturers to redesign their tyres, and innovation has
remained focused on improving tyre dimensions, weight, rolling resistance,
noise, and fuel efficiency.
Interest in run-flat tyres is another major focus of research and development,
and the future tyre market is expected to be led by ultra high-performance
(UHP) tyres which offer enhanced driving control, run-flat tyres which ensure
safe driving even in the event of a flat tyre, and ultra fuel efficiency tyres
which improve fuel efficiency.
This fifth edition of just-auto's automotive tyres report reviews these
emerging trends, and offers exclusive Q&A interviews with senior executives of
Bridgestone, Continental and Goodyear, profiles of the major manufacturers,
and review of the latest technical developments, and forecasts through to 2014.
