In this video I look at how simply changing your tire pressures can save you money on petrol / fuel / gas, and how the new breed of ultra low rolling resistance tires are perhaps not the best idea despite some significant fuel savings!
Tyre pressures has a significant effect on the rolling resistance of a vehicle. The U.S. Department of Energy, states that for every 1-psi drop in pressure, you can expect your gas mileage to lower by 0.4 percent.
Even more significant is the rolling resistance of the tire you're fitting, which is why there's new ultra low rolling resistance tires. These tyres have up to 30% less rolling resistance than normal car tires, however that lower rolling resistance does come at a cost, a safety critical cost. Wet grip, wet braking and wet handling is significantly reduced, and the hydroplaning performance of the tires are severely limited.
The test article the data was taken from for the second half of the video can be found here: https://www.tyrereviews.com/Article/2...
What does the future of this tire type look like? It will be interesting.
