Zusammenfassung:Particular embodiments of the invention include a method of forming a tire operating surface for a road wheel. Such methods include: providing a longitudinally convex bonding surface for receiving a textured tire operating surface; applying adhesive material of a pre-determined thickness along the longitudinally convex bonding surface to form a coated bonding surface comprising a longitudinally convex layer of adhesive material arranged along the bonding surface; and, arranging a single layer of aggregate material along a retention surface. The methods also include placing a width of the longitudinally convex layer of adhesive material of the coated bonding surface into engagement with the single layer of aggregate and rotating the coated bonding surface in a lengthwise direction relative the retention surface until a length of the convex layer of adhesive material has engaged the single layer of aggregate.
