Didja Know?
Now your tires will nag you, too:More than a quarter of all passenger vehicles on the road in the United States have one or more underinflated tires—a condition that can lead to tread separation and blowouts. Omnova Solutions, a chemical company in Fairlawn, OH, [has] devised a simple solution: a rubber material that changes color from black to red when tire temperatures rise above 77 °C (underinflated tires get much hotter than properly inflated tires) ...a strip of the rubber could be built into the sidewalls of tires, visible as a red ring when things get too hot. [The company will be called TCS Polymers]
