Tyres are getting smarter, along with fridges, televisions and home entertainment systems. And this is definitely not a bad thing. ‘Smart tyres’ on your car can give you an extra edge of safety and comfort – and they can also help you to maintain your car in great condition for a long time. Let’s take a look at the impact of tyre innovation on car maintenance.

High Quality Sustainable Rubber

The best modern tyres are made from rubber that is grown in sustainable plantations to the most stringent specifications. Not only is this better for the planet – no more Amazon clearances in order to access the forest’s natural rubber resources – but it’s more cost effective in the long run. Good quality tyres offer a smooth ride, and this helps to reduce wear and tear on your car, keeping in great condition for longer! If your tyres are getting a bit old, opt for the best quality affordable car tyres to upgrade your car’s performance and aesthetics. You can visit DAT Tyres’ website; they have professional technicians who can choose from budget, premium and mid-range tyres.

Stream-lined Design

Tyre innovations include tweaks to the design of the tyres: experiments with high and low-profile tyres, tread patterns, and various belting systems – all of these factors can have an impact on how your tyres – the whole car, in fact – performs while out and about on the UK’s roads. Premium tyres will embrace the latest innovations and results of R&D in tyre development labs, so they are a great choice if you’re looking to give your car every chance of lasting for years and years.

Precision Engineering

As well as incorporating all the latest technologies, modern tyres are very precisely engineered, with a tiny degree of variability between each tyre. This is excellent for your car, as the more identical the tyres are, the better the car will run.

Computer Says Whoa

Many modern cars are packed with sensors to monitor all sorts of aspects of the running of the car from the heat of the engine to levels of various fluids to fuel efficiency. Some of these sensors are attached to the tyres too, ensuring that the wheels are precisely balanced, perfectly aligned and generally working as best they can.

So you can see from this short list that tyre innovation can have a wide-ranging impact on the condition of your car and the ease with which you can maintain it. Sometimes it can feel as though technology is encroaching, unwanted, into every part of our lives – but sometimes this is not a bad thing, anything that keeps us all safer on the UK’s busy road network is surely a good thing?
