Do you own the latest cars and still miss the desired speed ?  Then don’t blame it on your cars , blame it on your tires ! Under-inflated tires will make your tire perform ruggedly and negatively. To provide guidance to these circumstances, the Rubber Manufacturers Association( RMA) and its members took the initiative to conduct the eighth Michelin Tire Safety Week with an aim to educate their national consumers about underlined tire safety maintenance tips. This year it is a part of the “Be Tire Smart-Play your PART” program which is a year-round effort designed to inform the drivers about the various techniques that ensure safety and protection of the tires used  for every types of vehicles.

The leading tire manufacturer of North America – Michelin produces high performance tires for every type of vehicles which delivers high performance, including airplanes, automobiles, bicycles, earthmovers, farm equipments, heavy duty trucks, motorcycles and the space shuttle along with publishing travel guides , maps and atlases covering Europe, Asia , Africa and North America.  Along with celebrating the National Tire Week , Michelin is reminding the consumers that choosing the right tires and maintaining them is a cost-effective way to contribute their dedication to this week of tire safety.

Using the tire that enjoys a complete balance of performance is a step towards a safe and enjoyable driving experience. Michelin’s research and development programs focuses on finding the right balance of performance and also believes in delivering expertise in the field of fuel-efficiency without sacrificing other performance. Nearly 20 percent of the energy is consumed by the tires to move a car forward. A detailed check on the proper tire inflation increases the longevity  of a tire. You should keep your tire pressure at the recommended level. This not only uplifts the performance standard of your car but also adds to the fuel-efficiency by one mile per gallon!

For the 40th anniversary celebration that Earth Day Network has, UL has decided to be the “Official Safety, Sustainability and Standards” for the organization.  Both these organizations will look forward to spread the knowledge of environment to people so that they become aware of where they are staying and what they need to do to make their living conditions better. Their idea is to make people aware of what eco friendly would mean and how people might benefit from this immensely. This breakthrough operation would ideally happen in the course of various layers along with the various earth day programs that the organization has in mind for itself.

This is a yearlong program that would be launched during earth week itself and it is during this time they UL would want families to visit their  Safe and Healthy Environment pavilion which is located at the Eco Village on the National Mall in Washington, DC. This pavilion will help people understand the various tests and certification that UL does on everyday items to make them better to the environment. This is amongst one of the work that EDN has decided to work in coordination with UL to complete for people.
