Upcoming releases employ upgraded rubber formulations for better performance in various weather conditions.

TOP TRENDS

• New raw materials: China suppliers of radial trucks are adding white carbon black to rubber to shorten brake distance. The material can also help during use on wet pavements and during winter.
  
• Recycled designs: These versions are becoming more popular recently. A number boast of a lifespan equivalent to about 80 percent of a new model’s.
  
• Application: Besides passenger cars and trucks, a number of makers are beginning to roll out models for agricultural vehicles such as tractors. Products are being incorporated in go karts as well.
