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. And among these there are also people for whom their own safety on the road is very important. This is exactly where the latter "gadget", the smart ZUS tire monitor, will come in handy.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Artists who think outside the box do not limit themselves to conventional materials such as wood, stone, clay, metal and glass. Blake McFarland is one of those. He creates sculptures from tires, and you can admire his masterpieces below.
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.
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.
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.
At London's RideLondon cycling festival, visitors encountered an unusual scene. A bike that uses sneakers instead of tires! The bike is signed by the German tire manufacturer Continental, who offered it to visitors for testing.
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.
