Eco-friendly tyres offer reduced fuel consumption, and therefore, less CO2 emissions are generated by your car. This is achieved by lowering the rolling resistance of the tyre through the materials the tyre is made from.
More often than not, eco-friendly tyres will be partly made from recycled materials, making them a more environmentally sustainable option to ‘standard’ tyres.
Most of the world’s top tyre manufacturers offer a range of eco-friendly tyres for you to choose from.

Yokohama
Yokohama has discovered a new tyre technology that combines orange oil extracted with fine silica. This break-through eliminates a significant amount of the petroleum-based products normally used in tyre manufacturing while assisting in better fuel economy by reducing rolling resistance up to 20 percent.
Besides orange oil, Yokohama has developed the AIRTEX™ Advanced Liner - designed to reduce the amount of air seeping from the tyre in their range of eco-friendly BluEarth tyres. Maintaining appropriate inflation levels is crucial because under-inflated tyres require more power, thus using more fuel.
