Called Uptis, the tyre is being tested on Chevrolet Bolt cars in the US but promises to save 200million punctured tyres a year globally from the scrapheap, reducing pollution and waste.

France throws out 50million tyres a year but they are difficult to recycle, with just 10% recycled and many dumped in the country.
