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?

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.

Pressure gauges have been mandatory in passenger cars since 2007. But among us there are certainly many who drive a car older than the specified year.

A revolutionary waste tire fuel that will save the world from tons of waste https://citymagazine.si/en/revolutionary-fuel-from-waste-tires-which-will-save-the-world-tons-of-waste/ Thu, 01 Dec 2016 07:06:43 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=273285

Used or waste tires are a big ecological problem. Due to vulcanization, they are extremely difficult to recycle. Most are thus doomed to rot in landfills, but thanks to Green Distillation Technologies (GDT), they have a brighter future ahead of them. There have been many ideas for recycling tires, but probably none better than this startup that wants to use them to make fuel.

Huck Norris is an innovative bicycle tire tape that prevents 'rubber defects' and the destruction of rims. The idea seems so simple that many people are probably wondering why he didn't come up with it himself. It is a strip made of plastic foam that adapts to the rim, does not hinder the rolling resistance, the tire maintains its characteristics and does not add weight, as it weighs less than the inner tube.

Changing tires: when should summer tires be changed to winter ones? https://citymagazine.si/en/changing-tires-when-should-you-change-season-tires-for-winter-tires/ Wed, 19 Oct 2016 06:06:45 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=261340

Do you know when to replace your summer tires with winter tires? Changing tires is required by law. Winter equipment is mandatory here from November 15th until March 15th. The law stipulates that the minimum tread depth for a summer tire is 1.6 millimeters, while for a winter tire it is 3 millimeters. Therefore, all of you who do not have summer-winter tires and they are too worn, you must report to a vulcanizer by the legally prescribed deadline and have your car retreaded.

How to change a wheel on a car - a guide for women https://citymagazine.si/en/how-to-change-a-wheel-on-a-car-guide-for-women/ Thu, 11 Aug 2016 06:05:50 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=247022

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.

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.

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.

At the Geneva Motor Show, Goodyear managed to shift the focus from sheet metal and girls in latex and miniskirts to tires. With his study tire BH03, he could change the course of history and tilt the scales in favor of electric cars. The main advantage of the concept are two new materials, hidden under the profile, which enable the production of electricity and thus power the battery of the hybrid system.
