Goodyear just unveiled the Oxygene tire concept at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show. The far out, futuristic tire concept dreams up cleaner, safer, and more sustainable urban transportation.
A rolling stone gathers no moss. But what if the rolling tire actually was made of moss? This age-old proverb is coming to life – moss included – in the Oxygene, a concept tire from Goodyear.
The main goal behind the Oxygene is to clean the air as it rolls. The brand claims its integration of natural elements, recycled materials, and emerging technologies has impressive benefits such as nearly puncture-free riding.
Over 80 percent of people who currently live in urban areas breathe air that is below World Health Organization standards. And experts expect about 66 percent of the world’s population to live in urban areas by 2050.
Clearly, air pollution is a problem. The Goodyear Oxygene tire aims to abate the pollution issues urban areas face.
