Energy saving tires: features

To save fuel, vehicle owners install energy-efficient tires. These tires are designed to reduce the amount of harmful emissions into the environment.

What are energy saving tires

In European countries, every year more and more stringent requirements regarding harmful emissions from a car are tightened. During operation of an internal combustion engine, harmful substances are emitted into the atmosphere. This is due to the fact that combustion products are generated when petroleum products are ignited. Manufacturers are making design changes to keep vehicles in line.

Global brands install green tires on their cars. The material for the manufacture and the tread pattern reduce the degree of resistance when driving. This reduces fuel consumption and makes the car more environmentally friendly.

How does it work?

When the car is moving in the internal combustion engine, the air-fuel mixture ignites and the pistons spin the crankshaft. The greater the load on the power plant, the higher the fuel consumption. When the wheels roll, the rubber adheres to the road surface. This puts a strain on the powertrain. As the tire-to-road contact patch increases, the fuel consumption increases. That is why when the pressure in the wheels decreases, the engine needs more energy.

To reduce the pollution of the environment, manufacturers produce tires that have a small drag force when the car is moving. The contact patch of the wheel with the road surface does not decrease. This means that the braking distance of the vehicle remains the same as for other tires.

Reducing drag allows the combustion engine to use less fuel to spin the crankshaft. This helps the driver save fuel. According to manufacturers' statements, 100-200 grams can be saved per 300 kilometers. Given that the declared product resource is 50000 km, the total amount of savings can be calculated.

It is important to take into account that a decrease in resistance is possible at normal pressure in the wheels. A decrease in the indicator will lead to an increase in the contact patch. It is necessary to regularly check the pressure in the wheels for compliance with the norm.

Differences from others

 In terms of quality, energy-saving tires are not inferior to analogues. With reduced resistance, they have the same braking characteristics. The tread pattern allows you to effectively stop the car on different road surfaces. 

Energy efficient tires have a low noise level when driving a vehicle on an asphalt surface. Unlike analogs, the wheels have a low rolling resistance.

Benefits of Energy Saving Tires

Products with a low rolling resistance have a number of advantages. This makes them in demand among motorists. Advantages of energy saving wheels:

  1. Softness. Rubber of this type repeats all the unevenness of the roadway. This makes the vehicle stable on the road.
  2. Low resistance. Reduces the load on the engine crankshaft and transmission units.
  3. Good grip on the road. The braking distance of vehicles with installed energy-saving wheels does not exceed the norm. Effective braking is possible on dry or wet surfaces.
  4. Fuel economy. The combustion engine needs less fuel to spin energy-efficient tires. A lot of fuel can be saved over the entire service life.
  5. Protection of the environment from the harmful effects of emissions from combustion of petroleum products. With little resistance, the combustion engine requires less fuel, which in turn reduces the amount of exhaust gas.

The list of benefits doesn't end there. The advantages of energy efficient tires include low sound levels. When driving on an asphalt surface, the wheels generate noise. The sound level of economy tires is less than that of analogues. This makes them comfortable to use.

Disadvantages of energy efficient tires

The disadvantages of wheels of this type include the fact that they are more expensive than analogues. If you calculate the total amount of savings, the cost of tires does not seem overpriced. Throughout the entire service life of the wheels will save fuel.

The calculation of the total amount may differ on a case-by-case basis. The tire life is influenced by the driving style and the quality of the road surface. This must be taken into account when choosing energy-efficient tires.

By purchasing economical tires, you can reduce the amount of harmful emissions into the environment and save fuel. The selection takes into account the cost and resource of products.
