Are you familiar with low-consumption tyres?
Combined with eco-driving, they will help you consume even less fuel on a daily basis.
With prices at the pump constantly rising, it's more than ever time for tricks to save money in the tank.
We already know that we must adopt a more responsible driving style and carefully compare prices at the pump to save less. But you can also bet on clever equipment, such as low-consumption tires to consume less gasoline.
When we drive, our tires deform and heat up under the weight of the car. This is called rolling resistance. It improves tire grip and our comfort, but in return, it consumes 20% of the power generated by the engine.
Low consumption car tires are more advantageous than traditional tires because they have been designed to offer low rolling resistance. This allows you to consume less fuel , necessary for the operation of the engine, provided you inflate them properly, of course! From 0.5l/100 km the car drops to 0.2l/100 km for the most efficient tyres.
Not bad right?
According to studies, low-consumption tires can save 70€ in gas per year. 70€ is 2 full for a small city car, it still represents a significant sum, especially at this time when everything is expensive.
You are a winner on fuel but also on quality since this equipment lasts longer than traditional tires without being more expensive. We're talking about €125 in savings from major tire manufacturers.
