As we move into the future, there are more ideas and concepts coming to the drawing board to improve the way we live. We are seeing interesting car designs and with them remarkable and modern wheel and tire concepts.

Modern tire concepts
Have you noticed that modern versions of tires have more geometric patterns with a stronger and bolder appearance? We are fortunate that our generation is moving towards a more practical state of life and taking into account all aspects of comfort and design before manufacturing.
We are also seeing more unusual colors coming into the picture. Why? Designers find different materials for the reinforcement components. They then use paint or resin which gives the tire color and a more striking design structure.
Designers and engineers are also beginning to find ways to get more air into the tires. This may seem crazy considering how racers try to warm up their tires as much as possible. Certain tires are not designed to be in contact with that heat. So by adding these new features, we could be preventing our tires from being replaced so frequently.
We are also seeing that the wheels are widening, whether you have a high-performance car or not. The first cars manufactured had small thin wheels that wobbled if the driver went too fast down the brick road. These wider wheels give the car more stability on the road, especially when cornering.

Modern wheel concepts
Modern wheels resemble Ninja stars and mini shovels. The wheels are less bulky and use less alloy material. There are more spaces between the decorative spokes that add to the lightness of it.
We are also starting to see more colors being painted on the surface. Some colors are matte, which is different from standard gloss paint. Other colors are metallic which create the appearance of a glare of sunlight bouncing off the wheels.
Angles are popular in modern wheel designs. Certain angles can influence the drivability of the car. If the angle is not facing the front of the car, then the wheel was designed to improve its aerodynamics.
We can also see that where the spoke starts in the center of the wheel, the metal sticks out a bit, making it difficult to remove the disc from the mark in the middle. These are valuable in underground markets, which is why thieves tend to assemble and resell them. So the metal bulge discourages such theft.
It’s good that wheel and tire designs evolve with the times. People always want to have a fresh new look that can potentially hone our driving.
