Tire technology has been advancing for many years. Especially with the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, tire performance has reached a completely different level. A new tire material that has emerged recently is pumpkin skin.
Pumpkin skin tires, which are environmentally friendly and have a low carbon footprint, have been developed with the support of the UK government. The aim of this project, which is carried out by a consortium of British companies, is to contribute to the decrease in the use of synthetic materials.
A number of tests have been carried out to ensure the reliability of pumpkin skin tires. It has been confirmed that the tires are resistant to high speeds and have good performance on wet and dry surfaces.
It is stated that the use of pumpkin skin tires in Formula 1 cars is being considered. This new tire material, which has the potential to revolutionize the industry, may also be used in road vehicles in the future.
