This is achieved as the compound lowers the tire's overall weight, which eases the driving pressure off the tire. The rolling resistance is the force affecting the tire that determines how much energy the vehicle needs to keep the tires in motion. The decreased levels of rolling resistance ensure reduced levels of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of the vehicle. In this manner, the tire is fuel efficient and environmentally friendly at the same time. The rolling resistance also manages to slow the tread wear rate down significantly. This, along with the optimized tread pattern's even distribution of the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking, extend the tread life and the tire usability as the tread wear remains regular and lasts longer.
