Bridgestone has incorporated blue spokes within these tyres, enhancing visibility during low light and dusk. This structure ensures greater community mobility safety, with spokes made from recyclable thermoplastic resin to effortlessly support a vehicle's weight, reducing road-induced vibrations.
The demo tests for these tyres began in March 2024 in Koganei City, Tokyo, focused on assessing their utility in green slow mobility solutions. Although passenger car users may need to wait a bit longer, Bridgestone is currently testing these tyres on commercial trucks and ultra-compact electric vehicles, believing that the frequent maintenance required by professional fleets will benefit significantly from this innovation.
