Say goodbye to flat tires: Michelin develops new ‘puncture-proof’ airless tires

February 03, 2020 -

Michelin and General Motors (GM) have announced the development of a prototype for production-ready airless tires, which could roll out and replace old pneumatic rubber tires by 2025. Both companies say they have been developing the airless tires for the better part of two decades.

Michelin calls their tire the "Uptis," which is short for Unique Puncture-Proof Tire System. They say that the Uptis can eliminate flat tires and punctures altogether. Michelin ...

From tires to toes: Crafting eco-friendly sandals from recycled truck tires

February 13, 2025 -

In a world dominated by mass-produced footwear, Doug Simons, a wilderness survival expert, is revolutionizing the way we think about shoes.

During the fifth episode of "Off Grid Survival Skills" by Marjory Wildcraft, streamed last Feb. 5 on Brighteon University, Simons demonstrated how to transform discarded truck tires into durable, eco-friendly sandals inspired by indigenous techniques. These "three-point sandals" are not only sustainable but ...

Climate cultists now DEFLATING car tires across the world, but under-inflated car tires use MORE energy due to lower gas mileage

June 09, 2023 -

So far, Tyre Extinguishers have deflated the tires of more than 10,000 SUVs in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Austria, Italy, New Zealand, Ireland, Belgium, and Portugal.

There is no visible leader of Tyre Extinguishers – though we suspect there are globalists hiding behind the terrorist group as its silent leaders – and anyone can participate. The only thing one ...

Chemical in car tires linked to salmon die-off

December 10, 2020 -

The chemical preservative, known as 6PPD, is used worldwide to slow the wear and tear on car tires. However, as tires break down over time and leave behind microscopic particles on roads, the 6PPD will react with ozone, an air pollutant, to become a different substance called 6PPD-quinone.

Outside of its lethal effects on coho salmon, scientists know little about this new substance. Unfortunately, the group found 6PPD-quinone in road runoff samples taken from across ...

Chemicals from CAR TIRES could be contaminating your dinner plate foods

May 10, 2023 -

Researchers out of Vienna warn that particulates from cars get left behind on roads and blown about and moved around by winds and rain, eventually settling in the soils where food is grown.

Farms that utilize wastewater and sewage sludge, also known as "biosludge," as "fertilizers" are also heavily contaminated with all sorts of contaminants, many of which end up inside the portions of plants consumed by animals and people.

On average, according to the team from the ...

Titanium tires used in spacecraft now being redeveloped for Earth bicycles

February 10, 2022 - airless tires. The French firm's Uptis (unique puncture-proof tire system) tire was created in partnership with General Motors (GM). Uptis creators claimed the zero-maintenance tire can replicate the performance of current rubber tires on the market – with the added bonuses of lasting longer, costing lower and being more environmentally-friendly. (Related: New tires made from orange peel oil instead of petroleum.)

The Uptis tire is made from rubber mixed with high-strength, ...

Car tires a major source of microplastics in California coastal waters, warn scientists

October 05, 2020 -

An international group of researchers made an inventory of microplastic sources to identify all the ways these plastic pollutants are getting into the San Francisco Bay. They found that seven trillion pieces of microplastics get washed away by stormwater alone every year, which is 300 times greater than what comes from all wastewater treatment plants feeding into the Bay.

What's more, nearly half of the field samples are black fragments with a distinctive rubbery texture....

Tackling the rubber waste crisis: Groundbreaking study reveals eco-friendly method to recycle tires

March 31, 2025 -

Every year, millions of tires end up in landfills all over the world, creating an environmental crisis with far-reaching consequences. In the United States alone, over 274 million tires were scrapped in 2021, with nearly a fifth of them being discarded into landfills. However, a groundbreaking study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) offers a glimmer of hope. Researchers have developed a novel chemical method that breaks down rubber ...

American farmers are having trouble finding replacement tractor tires amid escalating supply chain woes

October 17, 2021 -

Spare tires for tractors are now in dangerously short supply thanks to the government's never-ending Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) fascism.

For whatever reason, critical farming equipment and parts are either not getting produced anymore or not getting delivered to where they need to be, leaving farmers across the heartland in a major bind.

"You try to baby your equipment, but we're all at the mercy of luck right now," says Cordt Holub, a fourth-generation corn ...

Toxic chemical in car tires, not climate change, is killing off West Coast salmon

December 18, 2020 -

Now, scientists from Washington and California have identified the real culprit: a novel chemical byproduct known as 6PPD-quinone. This previously unreported substance is produced when 6PPD, a chemical used to slow the wear and tear of car tires, reacts with ground-level ozone, a major air pollutant.

The scientists believe 6PPD-quinone is what's killing the salmon because it appeared in road runoff samples taken from across the West Coast. The findings of the study ...

EVs chew through tires at a shocking rate … producing mountains of excess rubber tire waste

April 03, 2024 -

Because of their relatively extreme heft," to quote one source, EVs burn through tires like it's nobody's business, creating mountains of excess tire waste and excess tire and infrastructure bills.

The latest J.D. Power reports show that EV owners generally expect similar wear-and-tear on their EV cars as their internal combustion cars. The reality, though, is that EVs require new tires much more often than internal combustion engine cars do.

In many ways, EV adoption ...

Scientists develop self-healing rubber that could mean punctured tires repair themselves as you drive

August 21, 2017 -

While self-healing materials are not new, engineering the same properties on dry materials such as rubber poses a bigger challenge. According to the researchers, this is due to the rubber's material make-up. Rubber is made up of polymers linked by permanent, covalent bonds that do not reconnect once broken.

The main hurdle was that both reversible and covalent bonds do not interact with one another, in the same way as water repels oil. To address this, the experts developed ...
