Yokohama has come out with a new environmentally friendly and super-advanced tire: the dB Super E-spec. The tire is made with actual orange peels and orange oil, and Yokohama says that it is the most environmentally friendly tire in the world, in addition to providing 20% less rolling resistance. Not only does this tire save money at the pump, but it also helps out the environment throughout the entire manufacturing process.
Most people are unaware that even tires are usually made out of mostly petroleum products, but this helps to reduce dependence on oil even more by being made out of 80% non-petroleum based materials.
