"Eco-friendly tyres: A giant leap for the tyre industry"
"tyres Reading"
[ "If theres anything that gives us everything selflessly in this universe, then its the Mother Earth. Since aeons, this planet has been providing us with all the comforts of life. Thats a major reason why the natural resources of the world are fast depleting. As the world is making headway towards the twenty-first century, the concern for the environment is increasing manifoldGreen technology has already given life to electric cars and hybrids. Tyres are also certainly not lagging in this regard. Many big automotive companies like Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Yokohama and Hankook are working towards manufacturing eco-friendly tyres. Such tyres are quite amiable towards nature. These tyres Reading come laden with better technology, thus improving them even further. Lets know more about these tyres, which are made to help the planetWhat good can the tyres do to the environment?We all very well know that tyres are the only components which have a rendezvous with the roads on a day-to-day basis. Tyres which are yielding high performance will ultimately help in lowering fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissionsComposition of eco-friendly tyresIts the raw material used that makes all the difference in the tyres. Generally, tyres are made with rubber as the main component. Companies are now trying to blend in silica with rubber. This will help in replacing rubber in the tread and will also reduce road friction considerablyCompanies are also trying to construct tyres with stiffer sidewalls, thereby reducing the heat generated by the tyre ultimately increasing the life of the tyre. Companies are also working diligently towards reducing the usage of petroleum oil for construction of the tyres. Ideally, 5-10 gallons of petroleum oil is used in making a single tyre. The manufacturers are trying relentlessly to cut back this usageMany companies are working towards using plant-derived products as their raw materials. For instance, Yokohama has made a breakthrough discovery in using orange oil combined with silica. Through this, they plan to diminish the usage of petroleum in their manufacturing. Some companies are using sunflower oil and flora derived latex to replace the rubber usedBenefits of eco-friendly tyresThere isnt one, but many benefits of such tyres. Here they are -;Lowered fuel consumption -; with silica as the main component as raw material, these tyres certainly provide better traction than the traditional tyres. The wear and tear of the tyres slow down. With tyres and roads in contact all the time, silica helps in reducing the friction in tyres and the surface. Carbon emissions also get reduced with this.Increase in fuel efficiency -; with easy driving your car is going to save 3-5% of fuel if you use these tyres for your vehicle.Recycling possible-; with tyres Reading going from black to green, recycling is very much possible, thus contributing something to the environment.Reduced rolling resistance -; silica again plays a major role here. Though the resistance is reduced by 2-3%, your fuel still gets saved a lot.Eco-friendly tyres are a way of giving back to nature. This is a revolutionary concept. The companies are toiling hard to devise ways to conserve natural resources. Now, its time for you to do your bit by using these tyres on your car" ]
