Imagine a simple solution: change just one part of your car to see your fuel bill go down. No need to change the way you drive or take different routes. A subtle but effective innovation could make all the difference.
Why Your Tires Are Costing You More Than You Think
When you drive, your tires are constantly interacting with the road. This interaction creates an invisible but very real force: rolling resistance. The higher this resistance, the more energy the engine has to provide to move forward. The result? Higher fuel consumption and additional costs that you may not be aware of.
Conventional tires, due to their structure and composition, amplify this phenomenon. Conversely, LRR tires are designed to minimize this resistance, thus reducing the amount of fuel needed for each trip.
How do low rolling resistance tires work?
LRR tires incorporate several technological advances that optimize their efficiency:
- An innovative rubber compound: less deformation means less energy lost as heat.
- An optimized tread: it limits friction with the road while maintaining good grip.
- Better inflation pressure: stable pressure prevents excess fuel consumption.
Thanks to these characteristics, LRR tires allow the engine to work less, resulting in reduced fuel consumption.
How much can you actually save?
Savings vary depending on several factors: vehicle type, driving conditions, etc. However, studies show that LRR tires save between 3% and 6% in fuel.
Concrete example:
A motorist driving 20,000 km per year with an average consumption of 6 L/100 km could save up to 72 litres of fuel per year.
With a fuel price of €2/litre, this represents an annual saving of around €144.
For commercial fleets, the impact is even more significant, with thousands of euros saved each year on fuel.
