Today, SUVs still have wind in their sails with motorists. And it is not for nothing that the latter reached 50% of the European market at the beginning of the year, although city cars remain the best-selling models. The raised vehicles therefore, they are very popular with buyers who are seduced by their design, as well as a high driving position and the impression of safety they create. So it’s no surprise that we see so many of them, and that brands continue to create new long-legged models, such as the all-new Peugeot 408. However, these vehicles are not really to everyone’s liking. Indeed, some blame the latter for all evil, and in particular for actively contributing to global warming.

The team against SUVs

This is especially true for membersTire fire extinguishers”, a collective of environmental activists that has a very specific way of working. Indeed, participants deflate car tires to fight global warming. And it’s not just any vehicles, as it’s SUVs in particular that are being targeted because they’re considered too polluting. This method is quick as the valve cover is simply opened by inserting a small object to allow air to escape. Thus, the tire is not damaged. Each target car is rewarded with a short note explaining the gesture and warning the driver. In particular, he emphasizes that: SUVs are grotesque and pure vanity“. It’s just that.

Be careful

In addition to the fact that this act is legally reprehensible indignity, despite the absence of a puncture, it is also very dangerous. Indeed, a flat tire significantly reduces stability on the road and therefore can cause accidents. Not to mention that the tire needs to be changed if you drive it too long, which is not exactly environmentally friendly. Therefore, before going out on the road, it is important to check the condition of the tires and make sure that they are not deflated. Take a close look at all four, as some contestants participate in all wheels.

While some tire brands are known for their quality products, other brands are much less so because they are considered unreliable. https://t.co/nmfJW8fLhQ?utm_campaign=post-auto&utm_medium=twitter
