Fuel Efficient Tyres
In the current economic climate, everyone is looking to cut costs and save money where they can. Since personal transportation is one of the biggest expenses most of us have, saving money with our vehicle is usually a key focus.
Advancements in tyre technology mean that today, there are super efficient tyre designs that can result in over 10% better economy just from a tyre change and correct air pressure.
Eco-friendly tyres
When discussing tyres that are eco-friendly, there are a few different types of tyres that fall under this label. Some of the biggest names in tyres are investing in sustainable materials and manufacturing techniques that use less energy and water to produce high quality products.
Eco-friendly doesn’t stop with tyre construction either, and depending on the vehicle you drive, maximum performance might not be a deciding factor on your tyres, but saving money on fuel could be a key priority.
Many tyre companies have designed tyres that are optimised for low-rolling resistance, which directly relates to how much energy is required to maintain speed.
Bridgestone Ecopia
Perhaps the most easily recognisable tyre company, globally, Bridgestone offers their environmentally conscious products under the Ecopia branding. Currently, the Ecopia lineup is made up of three different tyres, optimised for different vehicle sizes and use cases.
Stepping outside of the Ecopia range, some of the technology that makes them so good appears on tyres in other parts of the Bridgestone catalogue.

Michelin Energy
With ‘energy saver’ in the name, it’s not going to take more than one guess to figure out what Michelin’s goals were when designing tyres that fall under this moniker.
Michelin has experience with tyres to suit all types of vehicles, and their tyre compound design doesn’t make any compromises when it comes to wet weather performance, safety and braking ability.

Pirelli Cinturato
Unlike the previous two brands’ eco lineup, it’s hard to tell what it is. ‘Cinturato’ is Italian for ‘belted’ which was revolutionary when the first Pirelli Cinturato tyre was released in 1949 as a game-changing radial tyre that was a massive step forward for tyre safety, performance and wear.
Today, the Cinturato torch is carried by Pirellis’ range of high-efficiency tyres designed for compact to medium passenger vehicles and small to medium SUVs.

Commercial Tyres
For vehicles operating commercially, such as delivery vans, courier vehicles, public transport, buses and trucks, prioritising ROI and minimising downtime is a priority. After all, if your vehicle isn’t on the road earning you money, it’s costing you money.
Many manufacturers offer tyres designed for commercial use that have a focus on reducing fuel costs, while maximising mileage from a set of tyres.
Choosing a high quality commercial tyre is paramount. Only top tier manufacturers are able to invest the R&D into developing tyres that feature low rolling resistance, load carrying capacity, superior durability and resistance to damage.
