ANN ARBOR–(ENEWSPF)–January 16, 2014. Drivers who switch to tires with low rolling resistance can save an average of nearly $150 a year, says a University of Michigan researcher.
“One parameter on which tires differ is their rolling resistance—the force resisting the motion when an object rolls,” said Michael Sivak, research professor at the U-M Transportation Research Institute. “Tires with low rolling resistance roll easier and, therefore, get better mileage than tires with high rolling resistance.”
