Comparison of Non-Pneumatic Tires with Traditional Tires for Enhanced Automotive Safety and Sustainability

Traditional pneumatic tires are limited by puncture risks and other maintenance, leading to higher environmental waste and safety hazards. This paper explores the design and analysis of Non-Pneumatic Tires (NPTs) as a cost effectively and future alternative. This study evaluates the mechanical performance, load-carrying mechanisms, and vibration characteristics of NPTs. Numerical modeling techniques using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The findings suggest that NPTs can significantly reduce vehicle downtime and improve safety, positioning them as a critical technology for the future of autonomous and electric mobility.
