Bridgestone rocked the rubber scene in 2011 when it introduced the Air Free tire, which it has now prepared for bicycles. It is rubber that cannot be punctured and you do not need a presser for it. The innovative design also reduces rolling resistance.
Already thinking about changing your tires? Do you know when to change winter and summer tires? March 15 is approaching, which drivers in Slovenia know as the day when winter tires can be replaced with summer ones. Although the legally prescribed period during which the use of winter equipment is mandatory in traffic expires on this date, it makes sense to wait a little longer before changing. Especially if you are going abroad.
Goodyear brought the successor of the revolutionary spherical tire to the Geneva Motor Show, which got smart. It is a concept made with the help of a 3D printer, the Eagle 360 Urban, which is an upgrade of the Eagle 360 tire from 2016. The interactive novelty is equipped with artificial intelligence and is able to sense the environment, change shape and heal itself.
Continental is toying with an interesting idea. We would like to install the brake system in the rim itself, thus reducing the weight and increasing the service life of the brake discs. This system would be particularly effective in electric vehicles that use regenerative braking.
The time to change the tires will slowly come. Do you know how to properly care for your tires? If you keep them at home, you should follow some rules. With proper storage, you extend the life of the tires. Are you also making a grade school mistake when storing tires? These are tire storage tips worth keeping in mind.
Tires don't usually get much attention, especially at auto shows where cars reign supreme, but this year was different. Goodyear shocked the public with its bold vision of tires. The Goodyear Eagle-360 tire is round! The American tire brand is reinventing the tire with the spherical tire. It is based on 117 years of tire manufacturing experience and imitation of nature. And how does it hold up to the car? Goodyear prepared for this question as well.
I am proud that I was one of the first in the world to drive a non-pneumatic Goodyear tire of the future and was part of the "Beyond tires" event, where I learned what the smart tires of the future will be able to do.
How to change a tire on a car? Although we live in an age of equality, there is still a belief that a woman's place is at home, behind the stove. Two thirds of Slovenians thought so in 2014! That they take care of household chores or home and family, and men for more physically demanding tasks, including around the house, for protection and income. But in the era of feminism, many women no longer agree to the traditional social division of roles and break stereotypes one by one. This girl has taken matters into her own hands, too, and now she wants you to too. You can start by knowing how to change a car tire, which is considered a man's job. Otherwise, the easiest thing is to drive the car to the edge and, with a kind expression on your face, catch some macho guy to change it for you. But this is not a woman in the 21st century. A woman of the 21st century puts on gloves, takes a tool, a spare tire and starts to lift the car with a jack. In addition, a tire can burst somewhere behind your back. And then? At that point, you'll need to replace it yourself, and in this post, Brittany Hornick will show you how.
There is nothing worse than getting your car stuck in the snow in winter. You're usually caught out on your own when there's no one around to push your car, and you probably don't pack a shovel with you either. All this will not matter in the future if you consider the Trac-Grabber, a tire belt that will save you from any snow problem and will become valuable as a spare tire. Did you know that you are unknowingly carrying a gadget that helps you when you don't have any of the above?
Even tires are getting smart. If Goodyear's spherical tires will not hit the roads for some time, Pirelli has already presented those that will be at work soon in Geneva. The tires have a built-in chip that enables communication with the driver, who is always up-to-date on their condition.
The first Slovenian national competition in quick tire change on a car will take place in Ljubljana. The competition will take place on Saturday, April 1, from 11:00 a.m. on the platform in front of the Park Hotel. If you think you can change a tire faster than anyone else, hurry up! Applications are only possible today.
