Hey does anyone know the chemical composition of bike tires and the equations for making them? I need it for a project, thanks.

Ask Dr Science!

You're on your own with the equation business.

And can you get me Colonel Sander's secret recipe while you are at it?

The c is for cruelty! Who knew cruelty tasted so good!

That is imposible to answer because every rubber compound is chemicaly different. Also there is allot more than the chemicals at work, they must be mixed, layed up a certain way, cooked a certain way, you need to do some more reasearch into ruber, then find out which tire you would like to emulate and then get a sample into a gastro spectrograph (I think thats what it'd called anyway).

Tons of variables as others have alluded to but the new Bike mag has an article on tires they did at the Nokian factory. I don't know if it is on the news stand yet but if not it should be soon.

That would be an really interesting concept.

Heavy as crap, but interesting nonetheless.

And yes, i'm serious....... Get some really big ball bearings, but them in a cage, and whammy, new road wheels!

You won't go anywhere. Ball bearings spin.
