Energy-saving tires came on the market for more than fifteen years ago, back in 1992. For the first time introduced the energy saving tires a French company Michelin, for her, these tires are "brand skates."
During the entire history of the production was released more than 600 million energy-saving tires, which are dispersed across all continents of the country. What is the advantage of energy saving tires as compared to conventional?
The main advantage of energy-saving tires, of course, in less emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere, which is achieved by a smaller rolling resistance. According to environmental standards, the modern automobile emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere should not exceed 160 grams per kilometer.
But by 2012 these rules will toughen up to 120 grams, and producers will have to re-modify their vehicles to meet the strictest environmental requirements. This will require a lot of money and time. But now, thanks to the energy saving tires, You can reduce CO2 emissions by 4-5 g / km.
But most motorists a little worried about the environmental friendliness of their cars, more important for them to reduce fuel consumption. But if we use energy-saving summer tires, you can reduce fuel consumption. Again we turn to the example: the claimed mileage of new energy-saving tires is 45 thousand kilometers.
If we would save 200 grams of fuel per hundred kilometers, the path to completion, we will save more than 2,000 rubles. Many would say it's too little, but this is the price of a new tire. As a result, the purchase of four energy-saving tires, we theoretically obtain the fifth in a gift. Good gift, given the current economic environment.
Many motorists believe that a reduction in fuel consumption and improving environmental performance necessarily implies a decrease coupling properties tires. But it is not so! Specialists of the company Michelin has been tested both summer and winter tires with energy-saving properties. The test showed no deterioration of energy-saving tires ...
The only downside of energy-saving tires include their higher cost compared to conventional tires. But the quality is always necessary to pay more, because the energy-saving tires are environmentally friendly and safe tire for modern automobiles. The proof is the fact that they are installed on new cars from Toyota, Mercedes Benz, Citroen, Peugeot, Volvo and several other automotive companies.
