A gesture beneficial to the environment
Saving fuel not only benefits your budget, but also the environment.
- For every litre of fuel saved, around 2.3 kg less CO₂ is released into the atmosphere.
- A 5% reduction in consumption over 20,000 km is equivalent to 115 kg of CO₂ avoided per year.
It is a concrete step towards more ecological driving, without additional effort.
Are LRR tires suitable for all vehicles?
Low rolling resistance tires are particularly suitable for:
- Compact cars and sedans: they make the most of this technology thanks to their reduced weight.
- SUVs and utility vehicles: although the savings are less significant, they remain interesting, especially for those who drive a lot.
- Professional fleets: trucks, buses and commercial vehicles benefit from significant savings over the long term.
Exception: If you regularly drive on snowy or rough roads, you may need to consider tires that offer more grip, at the expense of rolling resistance.
An investment that quickly pays for itself
Some drivers are hesitant to invest in LRR tires because of their slightly higher price than conventional models. However, the profitability is definitely there:
- A slightly higher initial cost, but amortized in a few months thanks to fuel savings.
- Longer life, because these tires generate less heat and wear out less quickly.
- A reduced ecological impact, with lower CO₂ emissions, without changing your driving.
Should you switch to LRR tires?
If you’re looking for a simple, effective solution to save fuel and reduce your environmental impact, low rolling resistance tires are a great option.
They offer an ideal compromise between performance, safety and savings, without requiring any change in your driving habits.
Bottom line: a simple tire change can be enough to reduce your fuel budget and adopt a more responsible driving style. So, are you ready to take the plunge?
