Tire manufacture is an interesting process ay. I'm sure Joe Schmoe thinks they pour hot rubber in one end and a tire spits out the other, which is true except for all the humans who had to cut and lay and place the various steel beads and composite layers necessary to build a car tire up before mechanisation takes over.

I use to work at a rubber factory and made rubber for Bridgestone cooper and Goodyear

You kiwis sure do take pride in your decks.

Most of that plants process relies on people to build a tire.
Yes, they have machinery that does all of the heavy lifting, but the operator has to do their part, mostly because those are BIG tires.
Smallest rim diameter is 47". Largest they make there is a 63" rim size radial for the gold mining industry. Used on their dump trucks that run ore from the mines to the wash plant.
They run those trucks at 60 mph.

You should see some of the poor bastids that work on equipment in mixing there.
They have 3 mixers.
Only 25% of their rubber is used at that plant. The rest goes to the PSR plant, Bandag(for retreads), or other plants.

Thats a little disappointing.
I kinda like that accent...

That OTR stuff is mad. Over in the mines in @Stihl working Hard land they actually hit a limit tho. The dump trucks had got so heavy that they were pushing a bow wave of earth up in front of the machine due to the ground pressure.
