| has gloss | eng: Low-rolling resistance tires are tires which are designed to minimize the energy wasted as heat as the tire rolls down the road. This improves the fuel efficiency of a vehicle or reduces the effort required in the case of human-powered ones. Approximately 5–15% of the fuel consumed by a typical car may be used to overcome rolling resistance. A 2003 California Energy Commission (CEC) preliminary study estimated that adoption of low-rolling resistance tires could save 1.5–4.5% of all gasoline consumption, but that current data were also insufficient to compare safety and other characteristics. A database of much more complete data will be released by the CEC pending completion of an ongoing study. |
