Graphene to be used in Vehicle Tires.

https://investorintel.com/sectors/technology-metals/technology-metals-intel/gratomic-successfully-reinvents-wheel-plasma-graphene/

excerpt:

Test results of tires using plasma processed graphite-derived graphene show:

Higher grip braking reduced by 2 meters at 50 kph, which is a significant safety feature;

Improved rolling resistance, which means longer free wheel & increased fuel economy. This is particularly important to fleet managers whose bottom line is highly dependent on fuel economy;

Comparison of graphene tires to a premium brand tire showed that the graphene tires outlasted the premium non-graphene tires by approximately 5,000 kilometers in real world road conditions; and,

Cost-effective as compared to carbon black.
