Tire manufacturers and OEMs continue to invent and test new design concept to enable customers to go further without the need for a spare tire. From advanced constructions, and sealants, to run-flat designs, the opportunities for innovative extended mobility solutions appear to be endless. But, is the consumer ready to adapt to a these new innovative technologies? This presentation will probe the intersection of tire innovations and consumer perception for extended mobility. The challenges and potential opportunities for the tire industry will be highlighted as we discuss these future possibilities.
