24 hours of Le Mans : The role of the tires.
Pneumatiques
Vidéo envoyée par Sandy_Dakar
Did you know…that tires have a limited life span? Depending on the choice of the tire rubbers, the drivers must come into the stands at a specific time to refuel and change their tires. Some tires last for 1 hour and others for two.
But…what do they do with the tires afterwards and why do the mechanics clean them when their used? Well, the Luc Alphand Aventures team gives them back to Michelin for analysis and recycling. The rims are given back to the team. You must have already seen the rubber floors which are made for children to play on…? This type of flooring comes from recycled tires!!
