Tyre design to increase traction control

I designed a parametric 3D model of an automotive tyre using PTC Creo Parametric, focusing on tread geometry that improves traction control, road grip, and stability under different driving conditions. The model includes detailed structural features such as the outer tread pattern, sidewalls, and inner mounting surface, which together represent the functional characteristics of a real vehicle tyre. The design process began with the creation of the base tyre profile, which was revolved around the central axis to form the primary tyre body. After establishing the base geometry, I developed the tread block pattern using sketching and extrusion operations. These tread elements were then replicated across the tyre surface using pattern and mirror features, ensuring uniform distribution of traction blocks around the circumference. Special attention was given to the tread grooves and block spacing, which play a crucial role in improving traction, water channeling, and surface contact with the road. The tread pattern was designed to increase friction between the tyre and road surface, thereby enhancing vehicle control during acceleration, braking, and cornering. The modeling approach used parametric design techniques, allowing easy modification of key parameters such as tread depth, groove spacing, tyre width, and overall diameter. This makes the model adaptable for different vehicle types and performance requirements. This project demonstrates expertise in complex surface modeling, pattern-based design, and automotive component development using CAD tools, particularly in optimizing tyre geometry for improved traction and road performance.
