If you’re a subscriber of popular mechanics, you may remember an article last November about an eco-friendly tire by Yokohama made of mostly orange peel. Well, it has hit the market and not surprisingly, will be available in sizes that fit the Toyota Prius, Camry Hybrid, and Honda Civic Hybrid. Made from 80% non-petroleum products, this tire has roughly 20% less rolling resistance which may well deliver an additional 3% saving in fuel on these already gas sipping vehicles.
With its zero emission plant in Japan and environmentally-friendly products, Yokohama is showing the world how seriously committed it is about protecting the planet.
