... F.2. Tire Modeling Approach Tire modeling can be a highly detailed process, involving discrete representation of the treads, carcass material, reinforcing fiber layers, the tire–rim interface, inflation pressures, and so on.

... The orthotropic smearedproperty method neglected details required for nuanced tire design models, but it still replicated the overall tire deformation and loading pertinent to arrestor simulation. When compared with the prior state-of-the-art in arrestor modeling -- the radial spring tire model -- the FEM approach adopted herein offers an increase in fidelity.
