Sophisticated, Korea Company Develops Tires Without Wind

The use of appropriate materials for these tires can help reduce exhaust emissions related to the manufacture and recycling.

Seoul - vehicle tire technology in common use today are still using air as a cushion that is loaded into the tires. Thus, the tire can reduce power leakage point or even eliminate its function altogether.

In some vulnerable situations, could be a group of criminals accidentally puncture the tires of vehicles in order to force the vehicle to stop and rob the driver.

Well, that risk can be reduced with the latest technological developments for vehicle tires as did Hankook of South Korea. As recently reported by the Hankook official website, the company was successfully tested iFlex, products that do not require a vehicle tire air charging.

Not only that, Hankook claimed a low profile tires also requires fewer raw materials that need less energy to make and easier to recycle.

"The creation time becomes half of the time required for the manufacture of conventional tires," wrote the page Hankook, was quoted as saying on Monday (7/20/2015)

In testing, iFlex has been tested in five categories: reliability, hardness, stability, slalom, and speed. Electric cars are used for testing can be driven up to 130 kilometers per hour without damaging the tire.

In other categories exams, iFlex even able to match the results of examinations of conventional tires. Only, Hankook did not publish the details on this.

Hankook is not the only tire company that tested the tire without aeration. Michelin company also has opened a factory in North America and will be devoted to the development of Tweel.

Bridgestone tires have also tested leakproof recyclable tested at a single Japanese passenger vehicles are usually used for the elderly.

Although still in the test phase, tire without air has great potential for the use of ordinary cars. Tire types it can not leak. Not only that, the use of appropriate materials for these tires can help reduce exhaust emissions related to the manufacture and recycling.
