  • Tire tread elements with built-in twist
    Patent number: 5669993
    Abstract: A tire having a tread has tread elements which, when compressed radially, exhibit a net torque. The net torque so generated can be directed and designed so as to affect the tire's residual self-aligning torque (also known as RSAT). One embodiment of the invention features a tire tread having a tread element which has a shape resembling a top surface with the tread element being twisted relative to a bottom surface of the tread element. Upon radial loading, the tread element is compressed and generates the net torque about the centroid of the tread element.
