Poly-(ethylene terephthalate), or PET, is the predominant radial passenger tyre body reinforcement in the USA and will soon achieve similar status in Europe. This ascendant position has been reached via the commercialisation of new generations of materials with physical properties specifically engineered to enhance tyre performance. In particular, these advanced tyre yarns efficiently translate into treated cords and, ultimately, cords-tyre with improved properties such as strength, dimensional stability, toughness, and low heat generation under dynamica loading conditions. As a result, tyres with enhanced durability and improved handling, uniformity, and appearance are now possible through the usage of these new materials. However, in order to realise the full potential of these advanced tyre yarns, measurement of critical cord properties (under realistic conditions) and the determination of their relationship with overall tyre performance is of vital importance. Such an understanding then allows optimisation of cord properties and even provides direction for future generations of tyre yarn. As such, this presentation will relate the properties of advanced, commercial PET products to the performance of tyres reinforced with these same materials. Rayon cords will also be included in this comparison.
