I don't care how crappy or how nice your car is. 1 thing that is always the same is that feeling you get when you put a brand new set of tires on. Doesn't matter if they are cheap or expensive either, just fresh and new.
Im obsessed with tyres. When I look at used cars the first thing I look at is the tyres to see how much tread is left and how they have worn as it gives an idea of how the previous owner looked after the car and how they drove it. New tyres, always enjoy getting a new set all round.

When you think about it, tires are a technical marvel. If somebody told me that a piece of rubber supporting the weight of 2 tons, rolling against concrete at over 100mph every day for years and doesn't immediately breakdown, I'd never believe it.
Hahahaha we are working in tyre industry only but ppls thinking in tyre industry workers working under heat and smell buy the situation is different no smell comes from rubber and plant fully tem maintain under 25 only 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Probably the tooling and processes are provided by the same suppliers to your company and Continental. But its the rubber compound and the tread pattern is what makes the difference.
I worked at Firestone SA as people Mechanical Engineer in training during the early 1980's. Later on, there was a project to increase the capacity of the Plant, I became part of the Project Team, working with four different nationalities on the management team. This is a fascinating process. Quite a lot of ingredients to built a tyre as reflected In the video. Taken me back over 40 years.
Lol I did the same thing with my front tires. Had one finally pop on the freeway a few months ago and had to pull over and put on the spare tire. Be prepared for when that happens 😬
Thats a complex process, very interesting. I was imagining a far simpler process with dozens of tyres just going along a production line. Wonder how many tyres a factory like this will make in a day.
Making rubber tires is one of the great inventions, extremely strong, durable, complex and laborious processes and yet snag and precise in the end. We shouldn't complain about the price.
What's more amazing is engineering such machines that are capable of producing such quality tires! How long it took the machine designer to come up with the compound method for example!
Arabic, Everything is possible. It only seems impossible from the outside. Impossible not meaning that no one has done and no one will do it. It means that the chance is low.
It doesn't smell like that, it more so smells like chemicals and compounds being burned and some tires even smell like you're curing a skunk in a press. Definitely not a pleasant smell unless you're at the end of the line doing repairs or inspecting them. But even cutting breaker from the FPs made on the calendar line they smell like dog shit
It’s blurred at the end but in the beginning it’s not also next to where it’s blurred is some sort of logo or seal and I’m pretty sure it says continental so it defeats the purpose of the blur.

honestly. It boggles my mind that we have machines this sophisticated for something so "ordinary" as it were, since almost everyone uses tyres.

My thoughts exactly. Incredible and will likely make me whine a little less when I have to buy tires.
its the other way around. The demand determines the value of the tire, which determines the value of all the machines making the tire.

Of coarse who would have thought otherwise. In other news naked man caught stealing some chickens
