Continental: "Fuel-saving tires might be dangerous" {Autoblog Green}
Nov 15th 2007 3:49PM I would be helpful for everyone to understand that this really is next to impossible. Rolling resistance and traction are directly related. The main contributer to rolling resistance is the energy lost to the hysteric effect of rubber and friction between lamina. As you attempt to reduce this loss you do so by stiffing the tire and creating a smaller contact patch. This smaller contact patch then leads to less traction and longer braking distances. While its easy to say, "...I believe that they should develop tires able to brake efficiently and save fuel at the same time", its much harder in practice. Companies can promise these magic tires, but when it comes down to it there is going to be a trade off. In this case it would most likely be the tread life suffering.
