Taking 205/55R16 91V steel-belted radial tires as the object,the influence of sidewall reinforcement components on the rolling resistance of radial tires was studied using the finite element analysis method and experiments.The results indicated that adding sidewall reinforcement components could reduce the rolling resistance of tires,among which the sidewall compound,outer protective compound,and apex components had the greatest reduction in rolling resistance,and the closer to the sidewall reinforcement component area was,the greater the reduction in rolling resistance was.
