Definitions of some terms used in the tyre industry — Part 2: Solid tyres

This document establishes a set of standardized definitions specifically designed for the tire manufacturing industry, focusing exclusively on solid tire technologies. As part of a broader series addressing terminology within this sector, this section provides precise meanings for technical terms, concepts, and classifications associated with non-pneumatic tires. The compilation aims to ensure consistency in communication among engineers, manufacturers, researchers, and regulatory bodies involved in the design, production, and application of solid tires. By defining specific nomenclature related to materials, construction methods, performance characteristics, and testing procedures, the text facilitates clearer technical dialogue and reduces ambiguity in industry documentation. The scope covers essential aspects of solid tire technology without extending to pneumatic counterparts or other vehicle components. Adoption of these definitions supports uniformity in technical specifications across different regions and organizational structures, thereby promoting interoperability and efficient knowledge transfer within the global tire sector. The content serves as a reference guide for understanding the fundamental vocabulary used in the development and evaluation of solid tire products and their applications.
