M+S the marker for snow tires

From November 1st the European Community introduced the tire label providing information about rolling resistance, wet grip and noise emission. What's missing on this labels are the characteristics of winter tires.

As a matter of fact experts are complaining about this lack of information about specific characteristics of snow tires. These characteristics could help consumers to choose snow tires easily.

At the moment the only marker identifying snow tires is M+S, indicating the usage on snow and mud. In fact M is "mud" and S is "snow", and you can find this maker on snow tires and off-road tyres.

So experts suggest you look for tests on newspapers and magazines to choose your snow tires. They report a correct and complete evaluation of the main characteristics of any tire.

But do you think that a "winter tire label" would be useful?

The common dandelion for green tires

Eco-sustainability and respect for the environment have become more and more important in the last years and production of green tires is no longer a dream but it will soon be a reality.

As a matter of fact Bridgestone together with several companies from the project Penra (Program for Excellence in Natural Rubber Alternatives) are working on a new green tire made of the common dandelion.

It looks like this common flower, known as Taraxacum officinale, has similar peculiarities of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). As a matter of fact from the dandelion's milky liquid we can make rubber, that will soon become a renewable resource to produce green tires.

Tests made in the labs of Bridgestone in Akron and Tokyo gave great result showing very good performances of this natural tires. But we have to wait until 2014 for larger testings.

FASEP and its costumers around the World

Our tire service equipments are sold all around the world. Think about a globe, start putting lots of flags with FASEP logo and cover about 50 countries all over the world. These are our clients!

These are just a few. In the next months we'll share more pictures and we'll be glad to show your pictures, too! So what are you waiting for? Be the next and send your pictures to FASEP!

Deflated tires cause accidents

According to NHTSA, the American National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, deflated tires cause more accidents.

The research revealed that deflated tires of 25% or more, have 10% more of possibilities to cause car accidents, in comparison of cars with well inflated tires.

As a matter of fact deflated tires, together with the low thickness of treads and drivers' inexperience, are the main factors of car accidents, causing one accident out of seven.

In addition deflated tires increase fuel consumption of a 3-4% more, increase the usage of tires of 40%. This means that you should control your tires every month and before every long trip in order to prevent accidents and save money.

To check your tires you should do it when tires are cold. The correct pressure is written on your car's manual, but the best way is to go to your trusted tyre changer and let him check.

The pressure of tires varies according to the usage, to weather conditions, as well as if your car is loaded or empty. In summer it should be lower, because air gets hot and expands, while in winter the pressure should be higher.

So, did you check your tires' pressure?
