Yokohama?s Orange Oil Tires Used in Patron GT3 Challenge ? Automotive News & Car Rumors at Automobile Magazine Billy Mays swears orange oil is great for polishing wood surfaces, but does it work well in racing tires? Yokohama thinks it does.....The SNR compound is reportedly more flexible, which reduces rolling resistance......Yokohama’s SNR compound is also used in the dB Super E-Spec, a consumer tire that launches this summer, and sized to fit the Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, and other ‘green’ vehicles on the market.
I hope the other tire companies develop tires like this, especially those gas guzzler trucks and SUV's that could use some help.
