Cars consume too much fuel – that’s why tire producers are working to reduce vehicles’ thirst.

Tires are high-tech products that require innovative materials and “ingredients” – such as high-performance rubbers like those manufactured by LANXESS. The company has a more than century-old tradition here – no one knows rubber better than LANXESS.
Tires that have an excellent performance in terms of rolling resistance, road grip, mileage and noise emissions are known as "Green Tires." You can read more about "Green Tires" and our contribution here on the following pages.
