Tyres 2.jpg

Run flat tyres (U.S. English: tires) are a modern development, enabling the car to be safely driven even though one of the tyres is punctured. Run flat tyres use rubber rim clips and enhanced sidewalls to support the weight of the car in case of a puncture.

Why are tires not biodegradable?

Rubber is durable and contains numerous chemicals, so it makes tires not biodegradable, which means they can be hazardous to people, plants, and animals if they are not taken care of properly. There are a few things to consider before you decide to toss used tires.

Eco friendly tyres are actually intended to decrease fuel usage, while maintaining the functionality of the vehicle. They possess a low rolling resistance (road friction), and use silica in the tread.
