Technology On The Go: Low Rolling Resistance Tyres
With the prices of fuel constantly rising, it’s perfectly logical that everyone wants to cut down on the usage. The market started overflowing with products claiming to save up fuel. In all this, some might forget to think about one of the most important parts of the car, namely the tyres. They play a big role in the actual economic usage of fuel. One of the things is to regularly check the tyre inflation pressure, but the weight and rubber chemistry of the tyre are all factors that contribute to how much it takes to push that tyre down the highway. The latest buzzword in this area has been low rolling resistance tyres (LLR), which to put it simply minimize wasted energy as a tyre rolls, thereby decreasing required rolling effort, and further on leading to reduced fuel usage.
