Inside Tire Development
In making cars, one important part we sometimes forget is the tires. Tires aren't just rubber circles we put on cars. They're made with smart ideas to work well, be good for the environment, and perform great in all kinds of situations. That's where Black Donuts Inc. (BDE) comes in. We contribute to making tires better by using advanced technology and innovative ideas.
We help make tires from the start. From selecting the right materials to designing the tread and mold design, and even help with industrializing the tire into production through comprehensive testing. We make sure the tires we design are good for the environment and use less energy.
Full range of tire development services
Black Donuts serves as a comprehensive engineering and R&D hub for tire manufacturers, offering turnkey services spanning the spectrum of tire development needs.
Since 2011, we have satisfied customers worldwide, with over 1,000 different SKUs and 150 registered community designs/design patents.
Our skillset includes creating new tire lines, improving existing products' performance, innovative compound, and material development, and conducting thorough testing and research and development (R&D). Our tire services include:
Our expertise covers various types of tires. Whether it's summer or winter tires, all-season tires, long haul tires, regional tires, one/off-road tires, studded tires for icy conditions, or specialized tires for electric vehicles, the goal remains consistent: delivering superior performance without compromising efficiency or sustainability. This expertise extends to sectors such as bicycle tires, and Truck and Bus Radial (TBR) tires catering to diverse industrial needs and OTR.
New product development
BDE provides an All-inclusive tire technology package from raw material selection and compound development to tread pattern and sidewall design, Mold design.
We design tires fit for the purpose whether it is the lowest rolling resistance, tire superior performance or extended durability. Every aspect of the tire's lifecycle, from optimizing biomaterial use to minimizing emissions and maximizing recyclability is coming standard consideration in development process. Our All-Inclusive package includes:
We ensure that our tire development process meets customers' needs and targets with advanced engineering tools. Each tire is meticulously designed to meet specific requirements, considering targeted market, vehicle type, usage patterns, and environmental conditions.
Existing product development
In addition to new product development, we specialize in expanding size ranges, upgrading performance, and enhancing quality for existing tire lines.
Whether fine-tuning tread patterns for superior traction or incorporating durable materials for extended longevity, our tire development services ensure that each product refinement surpasses expectations.

Testing for Real-Life Performance
Central to the tire development process is the rigorous testing regime that ensures real-life performance. Indoor and outdoor tests are conducted under a variety of conditions to validate design choices and optimize tire performance. Indoor tests simulate controlled environments to ensure tire safety and durability in usage. Outdoor tests take things a step further, subjecting tires to the unpredictable conditions of the real world. From scorching summer heat to icy winter roads, tire performance is evaluated across diverse terrains and climates. This comprehensive testing approach ensures that each tire performs as intended, providing reliability and safety to drivers in all conditions.
Comprehensive indoor and outdoor tests ensure your product performs as planned in real-life conditions.
Advanced Materials and Technologies
Through strategic partnerships with raw material suppliers, we stay alongside of the latest advancements, ensuring that our tire development initiatives remain at the leading edge of innovation. This can mean for instance new kind of mix of advanced polymers, silica-silane interaction or introducing new mixing technologies.
Prioritizing Efficiency and Sustainability
At the heart of our tire development services is a strong dedication to efficiency and sustainability. By designing tires with minimal rolling resistance, we enhance fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and help protect environment.
R&D Projects
The tire is a combination of many interrelated properties which cannot be varied independently – as a result, the tire is always a compromise. For example, wear, wet grip, and rolling resistance are strongly interrelated and have other effects. Research and development are needed to push the boundaries even further. In each case, the desired tire properties must be selected—typically, the end application is the driving force. We have the knowledge and experience to develop a tire to meet the requirements and we offer the following:
Compound Development
Our rubber specialists are experienced in developing high-quality compounds to meet specific customer needs in various applications such as:
