whatever happened to the mushroom based tires from 20 years ago?
O. O the what? This sounds interesting.
one of the big American car mfg like GM was bragging that they developed a mushroom-based automotive tire that used no petroleum and was non-toxic/organic but then never produced any for sale and i cant find any press releases now for it.
I never heard of a mushroom or fungus tire but Goodyear has been working on a tire made from old recycled tires and moss. I think most manufacturers have recycled and or sustainable products but they still cost more than the base level tire most people end up buying. I have heard some manufacturers are looking at using organic rubber from tree and dandelion farms.
