Eco-friendly tyres that last longer and save fuel
18 Aug 2023|9,612 views
People often overlook tyres, simply seeing them as rubber shoes for your rims. However, quality tyres can do a world of improvement, be it for your ride comfort, traction or even fuel economy. Here is a list of eco-friendly tyres that are longer lasting and reduce fuel consumption, so you can go greener, for longer!
1. Yokohama BluEarth-GT AE51
The BluEarth-GT AE51 will keep you driving in comfort and offer improved grip on different surfaces, all while improving your fuel economy for miles to come.
Many consumers call this the best tyre for everyday use, and it’s not hard to see why. Yokohama's BluEarth-GT AE51 now has a new design with blade-cut sipes within its ribs, offering more rigidity and responsiveness. This helps to improve safety and fuel economy by minimising deformations formed by braking or cornering forces.
However, grip remains uncompromised due to Yokohama's unique A.R.T (Advanced Reaction Technology) Mixing compound. This grip is further supported by blade-cut sipes on the centre rib offering a more uniform contact patch, while lightning grooves along the centre rib allows for more effective displacement of water when on the move.
Yokohama has also ensured the tyre's longevity with a uniquely pitched thread pattern to reduce the chance of uneven wear, ensuring the tyre's integrity even at high mileage. What's more, the unique 'Dimple Shoulder' pattern on the edge of the sidewall increases the overall efficiency of the tyre, along with allowing for better heat dissipation, helping to improve fuel economy.

2. Bridgestone Ecopia EP300
Get Bridgestone's Ecopia EP300 if you want an increase in fuel efficiency, wear life, and good handling in wet conditions.
Bridgestone offers its Ecopia EP300 for the fuel conscious drivers out there, as its low rolling resistance has been proven to increase by a staggering 11km per tank. This is attributed to Bridgestone’s cutting edge NanoPro-Tech compound, as its high-dispersing silica not only increases contact area but also reduces energy loss. The compound also gives the tyre improved grip with shorter braking distances, even on damp to wet road surfaces.
To maintain its grip in wet conditions, the Ecopia EP300 has an Optimised Crown Shape, which ensures more even contact pressure between the tyre and road surface, resulting in better wet grip and wear life. Its endurance is guaranteed with a round rib edge and deeper lug depth to maintain stiffness and even pressure distribution, so your tyres will feel the same long after you first fitted them.

3. Pirelli Cinturato P7
The Pirelli Cinturato P7 will shorten your braking distance, as well as reduce fuel consumption and noise emissions.
Pirelli has brought their expertise from racing to the Cinturato P7, a summer high-performance tyre for premium cars and crossovers with a strong focus on wet performances, mileage and rolling resistance. Perfect for Singapore’s unpredictable climate!
The Cinturato P7 fulfils these goals with a flat profile for better rolling resistance and regular wear, with a tread compound composition that allows maximum adhesion in the footprint area for enhanced grip. Pirelli has also developed an innovative chamfer design to reduce braking distances and reduce the risk of aquaplaning with optimised void ratio and groove shapes.

4. Michelin Energy XM2+
Michelin's Energy XM2 gives 25% more mileage and has a shorter braking distance under wet conditions when new and when worn.
Michelin have created the Energy XM2+ for the ultimate in tyre longevity, using a new formulation of full silica tread compound that contacts the ground in micro-scale, resulting in better grip throughout the tyre’s life and bonds stronger from filler to filler. This causes minimal wear, for up to 25% more mileage.
The Energy XM2+ have an edge against other tyre brands when it comes to braking distances as well, with Michelin claiming that the tyres brake 1.5m shorter when new and 2.6m shorter when worn against their competitors

5. Dunlop Enasave EC300+
The Dunlop Enasave EC300+ will maximise your fuel efficiency and perform exceptionally in all sorts of weather.
Dunlop's Enasave EC300+ aims to maximise fuel efficiency through reducing rolling tire resistance, while a superior silica compound improves braking and cornering in various driving conditions. This set of tyres excel at being a high performing and long-lasting passenger tyre, as it balances superior riding comfort with safety, regardless of rain or shine.

6. Continental EcoContact 6
Continental's EcoContact 6 optimises your car's grip and handling while improving mileage and giving maximum fuel efficiency.
The Continental EcoContact 6 is an excellent all-round tyre. Whether you are looking for tyres that offer enhanced mileage, maximum fuel efficiency or an optimised handling experience, the EcoContact 6 will fulfil your needs and then some. This set of tyres has been developed to have the best balance between tyre size and component distribution, so that Continental’s improved Green Chili 2.0 compound reduces tyre wear and works with a high-tech silica compound to improve rolling resistance, as well as reduce both fuel consumption and C02 emissions.
Not stopping at that, the EcoContact 6 also uses more ContiSilent and ContiSeal for the driver’s comfort and safety. Continental have developed a tailor-made pattern, asymmetric rib and sipe geometry to make sure the EcoContact 6 keeps you in control regardless of the road conditions. But in the event the tyre is penetrated by foreign objects such as nails, the Contiseal takes effect. A sticky, viscous sealant is applied to the inside of the tyre’s tread area. ContiSeal seals 8-% of all tyre punctures and therefore reduces the risk of flat tyres.
While driving, you can enjoy a quieter ride thanks to ContiSilent, a tyre noise-reducing technology developed by Continental. Designed to reduce interior noise on all road surfaces, ContiSilent tyres are equipped with an inner tyre absorber, a polyurethane foam, attached to the inner surface of the tread area with an adhesive. Regardless of the temperature, the structure of the foam stays intact and helps reduce interior vehicle noise up to 9db(A), depending on the type of vehicle, its speed and the road surface.
Lastly, the EcoContact 6 uses Continental’s SSR system, a runflat technology developed for low section tyres, which still keeps the tyres compatible with all standard rims. This makes it unnecessary to carry a spare tyre as the system uses a self-supporting reinforced sidewall. In case of a puncture, this prevents the sidewall from being crushed between the rim and the road, and the tyre from slipping off the rim. Not having to carry a spare tyre means a reduction in weight, which improves fuel efficiency, and adds up to 80 litres of free space in the boot. Fitting on four positions is highly recommended, if not yet mandatory by law and a tyre repair is not allowed.

7. Kumho Ecowing ES31
The EcoWing ES31 improves fuel economy with its low rolling resistance while optimising handling.
Kumho’s Ecowing ES31 is truly an eco-friendly tire, with an eco-compound and aerodynamic sidewall design to help improve fuel economy. To handle the extra miles you will get out of your fuel tank, it’s optimised tyre profile improves mileage performance through a balanced footprint.
On the performance side, this tyre has an asymmetric pattern design to lower road noise for a quieter, more comfortable ride, with four wide center and lateral grooves to help increase wet weather traction and reduce hydroplaning.
