设计大奖作品：你该换胎了

fissa

两位中国设计师赢得了红点概念设计奖（Red Dot concept design award ）的奖杯，高凤林，周布依（译音：Gao Fenglin & Zhou Buyi），他们找到了一个关于变色胎的理念，叫Discolor Tyre。

不翻译了，看图也能看清楚！

Understanding it couldn't be simpler: A layer of colored rubber beneath the black casing will appear when the outer tread depth falls beneath a certain amount. Fenglin and Buyi estimate that 20,000 kilometers of driving, or about 12,400 miles, will cause the colored tread to show, but there's no reason why harder rubber compounds couldn't increase that number. A side benefit is that it would also quickly reveal tears in the casing and the sources of leaks.

我倒觉得真是个好主意，优点很多~目前好像已经申请了专利！

This isn't the first concept to use alternate hues to detect tread depth, with other ideas having already been patented. The patented Colored Wear Indicator for Tires uses not just one, but several colors to indicate how far the tread has worn down. The patent for a Vehicle Tire Tread Depth Determining System, conversely, doesn't use a fixed color, it uses an ultraviolet-sensitive layer that changes color after enough tread has worn down so that it is exposed to sunlight. We're sure there are more out there; point being that designers are already thinking about how we'll check our tires when the last car parts store closes for good... and we run out of pennies.

搞成七彩的，来区分新旧程度，不是更直观，不知道成本高多少

好主意，之前怎么没想到啊。还是中国人聪明。

彩色轮胎技术啊？橡胶成分问题？为什么轮胎总是黑的？

这主意应该不难想象，可能还是因为成本问题吧。
