Dentro de la fábrica del neumático más grande del mundo: 40.000 euros por rueda

Four meters tall. Five tons in weight. Forty thousand euros per unit. And fifty hours inside an eighty-ton mold heated to one hundred and seventy degrees Celsius. This is the Bridgestone 59/80R63, the world's largest tire, and it's nothing like your car tire: inside, it's made of half steel. A Caterpillar 797 mining truck weighs 620 tons fully loaded and rests on six of these tires. A quarter of a million euros worth of tires alone. Each one must support the weight of one hundred cars, roll over sharp rock, and withstand the heat generated by the rubber itself through friction. In this video, we go inside the factory and follow the entire process: the mixing of more than twenty components, the 120 layers of steel cord—each strand as thin as a human hair—the assembly on a giant drum, and the vulcanization, that accidental discovery from almost two hundred years ago that transforms a black, sticky mass into the strongest tire ever made.
