The Latest in Green Tech Innovations for Tires
posted on
10/19/2016 7:38:46 AM
When it comes to your car, oil isn't the only thing there's a finite supply of. Rubber has its limits too, and it's estimated by 2020, the supply of natural rubber in the world may be outstripped by demand. And of course, tires require a great deal of oil to produce as well. Tire manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to innovate and conserve resources in tire production. Here are some recent advances: Dandelions: Yes, those humble yellow flowers you try to eliminate from your yard. Da...

Tires all look sort of the same…round and black…and people tend to think tires don’t change much over the years. That’s really not true, though – engineers and designers are constantly working on advances in tire designs for more miles, better fuel economy and better performance. Here’s a rundown of current trends in tire technology you may not have been aware of: Tall, skinny tires are coming back.

Self-Inflating Tires…Soon To Be A Reality?
posted on
10/19/2016 7:37:00 AM
Driving around on underinflated tires is just a bad idea all the way around. Underinflated tires increase a car’s rolling resistance, meaning a drop in fuel efficiency since it takes more energy to move the vehicle down the road. A single tire that’s down by ten pounds of air means a 3.3 percent drop in fuel economy…multiply that by all four tires, and you can figure on giving up ten percent of your gas mileage. The added friction and rolling resistance also means more heat is generated, an...

Springtime Means…Potholes
posted on
10/19/2016 7:33:27 AM
You’re driving along, minding your own business and having a perfect day, when suddenly…BANG!! Where’d that pothole come from? How did it jump out in front of you like that? You drive a few more blocks and you notice that suddenly your car doesn’t drive quite the same. It’s got a pull to one side, the steering suddenly feels heavy and “clumsy,” like you’re driving a dump truck, and the wheel doesn’t want to center itself as readily after you round a corner. Potholes unfortunately go wi...

Mixing Tires – Bad Idea
posted on
10/19/2016 7:28:00 AM
In a perfect world, all four tires would wear out at the same time. In the same perfect world, everyone would be able to afford a whole set of tires all at once. Unfortunately, things often just do not work out that way. Sometimes you may just have to replace tires as you can afford them, one or two at a time, but there are some important things to bear in mind if you have to do that. If you can only afford to replace one or two tires, it’s essential that you go with tires that a...

Get The Most Out Of That Set Of Tires
posted on
10/19/2016 7:27:01 AM
Your tires are a pretty big investment. Even with the cheapest set of tires, you’re going to be spending upwards of $400 on the tires, mounting, balancing, disposal fees and taxes. Since you laid down that kind of money, doesn’t it just make sense to make sure you get the most miles possible out of them? Here’s some advice on long tire life: • Regularly check your tire pressure. This one is really, really important. Underinflated tires will wear unevenly and reduce your fuel economy ...
