From the beginning and until now, tires have been made of petroleum-based oil. Now, thanks to breakthroughs found by tire company Goodyear, they can be made with soybean oil as well. During their testing, they found that tires that contain soybean oil tend to last 10% longer than the regular petroleum-based oil tires, as well as being saving a bit of natural resources. The new tires will probably be on sale by 2015, so if you are (or want to be) environmentally-friendly or want to save money, try buying these tires instead. The only problem, however, is that most foods on the market are made with soybeans. Therefore, there is a slight possibility that your weekly grocery shopping fee will increase. What do you think about this new breakthrough? Please leave your opinion at the comments section below.
