Result:<\/strong> 10% lower rolling resistance means 3% less fuel consumption.<\/p>\nWhat is clearly stated however is the fact that even low-rolling resistance tires are subject to the laws of physics: When driven with the wrong tire pressure, fuel consumption increases by up to 5% and tire life is drastically reduced.
\nIn other words: A low-rolling resistance tire provides its advantages only if used with the correct tire pressure.<\/p>\n
Says Goodyear: \u201c\u2026 Most of the gains in fuel efficiency can be obtained from the tread of the tire, (\u2026). Research shows that the tread contributes to over half of
\nthe rolling resistance. It is important to keep tires properly inflated so that the strength of the tire is not compromised. Fuel economy falls off sharply when tires are underinflated.\u201d<\/p>\n
The subtitle of the German brochure states: \u201cBecause not all tires are the same\u201d \u2026
\nIf a tire's pressure is not monitored and maintained, all tires behave<\/strong> in the same way: rolling resistance increases and fuel consumption (and tire wear and environmental pollution and noise emissions and\u2026) increases; at the same time driving safety is reduced.<\/p>\nSo here is our conclusion: Yes! Low-rolling resistance tires are really better\u2026 if the tire pressure is correctly set and maintained<\/strong>.<\/p>\nAnd as we all know from Control Engineering: Only a parameter that is known (ie measured\/controlled\/made visible) can be influenced meaningfully; TireMoni shows all your tire pressures with only one look.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Everyone seems to talk about low-rolling resistance tyres and if you read and listen to what’s written and said, you could easily get the impression that thes new technology will be the answer to any (environmental-, pollution-, traffic-, noise-, cost-, …) problem that there is.
