You already know that oranges are good for your health, but did you know they are also good for the environment and for your wallet? As it turns out, now you can purchase eco-friendly tires made with a renewable resource in their composition: orange oil directly extracted from orange peel.

Orange oil tires use orange oil as a replacement for part of the petroleum commonly used to manufacture tires. Such process reduces the amount of petroleum used to make tires. In addition it enhances tire grip and diminishes rolling resistance; two crucial components for a high performance tire. Less rolling resistance gives you better fuel efficiency.
