Green tires are a novel solution in the sector of tire manufacturing. These tires play an important role in reducing carbon emissions as part of a trend towards more environmentally friendly driving around the world. They also improve mileage and reduce rolling resistance. Basic objective of green tires is to reduce rolling, that is, the energy dissipated by a tire as it rolls leading to improved fuel efficiency. These reductions decrease fuel use and lower emissions of greenhouse gases, which is becoming ever more critical in the present era. In simple terms, green tires can be best characterized by the fact that they are made of environmentally friendly products such as renewable resources and reclaimed parts. Sustainability is evident in synthetic rubber produced from renewable resources or bio-derived feedstocks and tread compounds containing silica from rice husk ash. This not only decreases the reliance on fossil fuel but also decentralises the nuisances that come with manufacturing of tires. Besides, most green tires have features that make them outlast their conventional counter parts by many years. Sophisticated technologies in production increase wear resistance and general performance of the products to eliminate deterioration of quality due to the utilization of environmentally friendly products. Global concerns as to the effects of producing and disposing tires are well known, and green tires are meant to address these issues. Employers of production have adopted the use of sustainable practices in production hence making a small contribution to carbon trace.
