Energy-efficient tires. The advantages and disadvantages

Energy-saving tires came on the market for more than fifteen years ago, namely the date of their creation dates back to 1992. For the first time introduced the energy saving tires a French company Michelin, the tire for which the data were "brand skates." In the entire history of the production was released more than 600 million energy-saving tires, which went on all the continents of the country. What is the advantage of energy saving tires as compared to conventional tires? Their main advantage, of course, to lower emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere, which is achieved in less energy-efficient tire rolling resistance. If we consider all this in more detail as an example, the following picture: according to the new environmental standards for modern automobile emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere should not exceed 120 grams per kilometer. But by 2012 these rules will toughen much, and the minimum rate of emissions will amount to 160 grams. All producers will have to re-refine their vehicles to meet the strictest environmental requirements. But it takes a lot of money and time. But now, thanks to the use of energy-saving tires can reduce CO2 emissions by 4-5 g / km. But most motorists a little worried about the environmental friendliness of their cars for them more importantly reduce fuel consumption. But if you use energy-saving summer tires, it is possible to reduce fuel consumption by about "glass". Again we turn to a specific example: the stated mileage new energy-saving tires is 45 thousand kilometers. If we would save 200 grams of fuel per hundred kilometers, the path to complete our tires we would save more than 2000 rubles. Many say it is too little, but that's the price of a new tire. As a result, when you buy four tires energy, we have theoretically fifth as a gift. A good gift, given the current economic environment. But then again, many motorists may think that a reduction in fuel consumption and improve the environmental bus must be reduced coupling properties tires. But this is categorically not the case! Michelin specialists have been tested, both summer and winter tires with energy-saving properties. The test showed no deterioration of the energy-saving tires, and even reverse these tires showed slightly better results than conventional tires. The only drawback of energy-saving tires can call them a slightly higher price compared to similar tires. But the quality has always had to pay more. Indeed, energy-efficient tires are environmentally friendly and safe tire for modern automobiles. The proof is the fact that the new energy-saving tires Michelin fourth-generation set for new cars Toyota, Mercedes Benz, Citroen, Peugeot, Volvo and other car companies.
