Tests Have Been Conducted And Goodyear Plans To Roll Out The Tire In 2023

Goodyear has introduced a tire made with 90% sustainable materials, with the main components being rice husk and soybean oil, in addition to pine resin. The fully sustainable model has passed all tests for use on roads and should be commercially available this year. It is estimated that it can run up to 500,000 km, well above the 60,000 km lifespan of traditional tires.

The Sustainability Promoted By Goodyear’s New Tire

According to Canal Rural, 17 ingredients are used in the production of the tire, featuring four types of carbon produced from methane, carbon dioxide, vegetable oil, and pyrolysis oil. According to Goodyear, these technologies aim for reduced emissions, circularity, the use of biologically-based carbons, and at the same time, offer better performance.

Soybean oil helps keep the rubber compound of the tire flexible under temperature changes. The grain-derived resource is a biologically-based alternative that promotes reduced reliance on petroleum-derived products. Meanwhile, rice husk waste is used to produce silica, which enhances grip and reduces fuel consumption.

In Addition To Being Sustainable, The New Tire Also Helps You Save Fuel

The new tire has also been tested to have lower rolling resistance compared to traditional tires. Thus, the product has the potential to offer greater fuel economy and lower carbon emissions. Additionally, Goodyear states that the polyester used in the new model is not petroleum-based. Instead, its sustainable model adopts bio-renewable pine resins.

Regarding the challenges for marketing the product, the company claims there is a need for greater effort from the supplier base to identify the necessary scale of innovative materials for large volumes. With the overcoming of these challenges, the sustainable tire could finally be made available in the market.
