Airless tyres!

 

Recommended for Preparatory Grades

Airless tyres have a lot of potential because tyres are the only part of the car that makes contact with the road. As cities are seeing an increase in the use of ride-hailing and car-sharing services rather than private vehicle ownership.

The cost of a flat tyre directly results in losing time and money. Thus major tyre manufacturers are putting their money and best minds into the development of airless tyres.

What is Tyre Retreading?

A used tyre casing that is still in good structural condition is removed from the vehicle, and then the pattern and rim rubber on the tyre are replaced with new rubber.

Fun facts about Airless Tyres!

  • Auto experts say that driverless cars and electric cars will bring about big changes that will have a big effect on the demand for tyres.
  • Consumers will look for products that are easy to take care of, hard to puncture, and can be recycled.
  • A lot of countries have smart city projects on their development plans, and airless tyres could have sensors that map the road conditions.
  • With the help of technology, connected vehicles could tell government officials where roads need to be fixed.
  • At first, the price of airless tyres could be a lot more than that of regular ones. But the use of 3D printing and the ability to retread tyres more than once could change everything.
  • Some experts say that people won’t even have to buy tyres. Instead, people will get them for free and pay for them based on how many miles they drive. Sensors will keep track of how they are used.
  • Experts think that the government will need to do strict safety checks and make the rules uniform. In addition, companies that make tyres will have to spend a lot of money building new production facilities and supply systems.
