The sensor portion of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's intelligent tire system consists of a 3-diameter, 1.3-thick, lightweight intelligent tire sensor, about the size of a hockey puck, that is fastened to the tire innerliner, where it measures cavity temperature and pressure and transmits data every three minutes. An in-cab receiver, which can be programmed with each tire's identification and the truck number, logs data. It sends the data upstream to the mine management system unit in the cab. Goodyear's system is the industry's first commercially available intelligent tire system that will help operators control tire costs and significantly lower downtime due to tire issues.

In preliminary stress tests on future tires at The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, red indicates areas of stress in a tire. Other colors show varying levels of stress that can be changed in computer engineering before tires are actually built. Computers also can show how a tire will react to a specific vehicle before it is designed to be fitted on that vehicle.

The Stone Gard RT-3B is Goodyear's all-steel radial rock traction tire for loaders, articulated trucks and graders. At its core are multiple steel belts that will significantly reduce downtime and save costs by resisting rock cuts and penetrations. The wide tread width improves traction and mobility and gives a more stable, comfortable ride. The all steel construction of the Stone Gard RT-3B also resists heat build-up, which can reduce tire life. Its uniform footprint and deep tread grooves provide longer, more even wear; the rounded grove angles mean low stone retention in the tread.

This 240-ton haul truck at the U.S. STEEL MINNTAC Taconite Mine, Mountain Iron, Minn., is one of 3 test beds for Goodyear's new intelligent tire system that will help operators control tire costs and significantly lower downtime due to tire issues. Inside each of six 40.00R57 tires on the truck is a 3-diameter, 1.3-thick, lightweight intelligent tire sensor. About the size of a hockey puck, the sensor measures cavity temperature and pressure and transmits data every three minutes. An in-cab receiver, which can be programmed with each tire's identification and the truck number, logs data. It sends the data upstream to the mine management system unit in the cab.
