Here is an alternative to rubber tyres we usually use for our car-wheels. Amerityre claims its revolutionary Arcus as a superior to rubber in almost every way. The world, already burdened with those unused rubber landfills, will now be relieved with the new alternative, which is not only non-toxic but 100% recyclable too.
To further its contribution towards the environment, compared to rubber, this material uses 96% less energy during its production. Capital Expenditure costs like molds and machining are also reduced by 90%. With 45% less rolling resistance, the performance figures are equally impressive.
It gives the tyre an average temperature 80°F cooler compared to rubber. It adds up to 10-20% better fuel economy. The tyre tread life of the material is believed to improve by 25% to 50%, enhancing the air holding performance.
