A unique structure of spokes – made of thermoplastic resin stretch along the inner sides of the tyres and support the weight of the vehicle. Along with the rubber in the tread portion, the materials used in the tyres are recyclable, contributing to the efficient use of resources, says Bridgestone.
Further, by pursuing extremely low rolling resistance and contributing to reductions in CO2 emissions through use of proprietary technologies, Bridgestone believes it is possible to achieve even higher levels of environmental friendliness and safety.
