Advances in tyre materials, tyre constructions and tyre manufacturing technology have led to new types of products and the development of new market segments. Tyre manufacturing technology has progressed in parallel with tyre construction technology so that tyre is now designed not only to meet specific performance targets, but also to enable improved 'manufacturability', i.e., more efficient, lower cost and more uniform production. The tyre and tubes are very important rubber products and widely used everywhere in the world. Now there is a great change in the raw materials consumption which varies according to the tyre and tube application such as tractor tyre, truck and Airoplane tyre. There are used in vehicles for comfortable side and low power consumption. Various types of tyre are available namely pneumatic solid tyre. Uses and Applications High performance tyres are designed for use at higher speeds, and more often, a more "sporty" driving style. They feature a softer rubber compound for improved traction, especially on high speed cornering. Tyre are used in large numbers on automobiles, truks, aircraft and bicycle.End-of-life tyre in whole, cut or stamped form can be used in many environmentally sound applications to take advantage of their shape, sound and impact absorption properties and/or material characteristics. As a particular example, whole tyres are used frequently in coastal protection projects. Whole tyres have been used with considerable success to create artificial reefs and erosion barriers, sea-walls and off-coast breakwaters. In both sea and fresh water harbours, tyres are used as boat fenders, absorbing the shock from moving boats to protect the hulls and sea walls, particularly during storms.Cut, chunked and shredded tyre also used as a principal material on building riverbank protections, reversing and preventing erosion particularly in swift water areas. Market Survey The Indian tyre industry has come of age with the manufacture of almost all types of tyres. The truck and bus segment is a major constituent (by value) of the tyre industry, accounting for over two-third of the total value of the industry. The upsurge in demand has generally helped the performance of tyre majors such as MRF, Apollo Tyres and Ceat. The industry has, in the recent years, been quick in absorbing and adapting the cross-ply technology as well. The conventional bias technology is almost out globally and even earlier version of cross-ply is becoming obsolete. Although the global majors had operated for a long time, their upgraded technological capabilities ceased to flow to the Indian industry. In the recent years, the tyre industry has been witnessing structural changes. Global majors like Bridgestone have commissioned production facilities in India. Continental has taken equity stake in an existing Indian major thus making a direct entry into the market - a shift from being only a technology supplier so far.
