There ’s a long list of reasons why you should keep your fomite ’s tires properly billow — from better mileage to good handling . Goodyear has made this motorist ’s chore extra easy with its newAir Maintenance Technology system , which mechanically hold a tire at the proper pounds per square inch using a ego - contained passive pump .
Auto - rising prices system for tires have exist for years now , but they normally involve complicated valves and tube to connect each tyre to a heart in the vehicle itself . Goodyear ’s solution is far more elegant , using an interior governor that automatically opens , when tire pressure is low , to permit air travel in to a pumping tube . As the tire roll and is wring , the line inside this underground is squeezed into the tire ’s independent bodily cavity , pumping it back up . Because the system is completely self - comprise , there ’s less risk of the components being damaged , and fewer ways for the chemical mechanism to give out .
While Goodyear is n’t announce pricing or availability contingent for the raw tires just yet , the fellowship will be demonstrating the engineering at the 2012 Internationale Automobil - Ausstellung Commercial Vehicle Show in Germany , and presumably at other upcoming auto appearance around the world .
