A company that has long prioritized innovation, Maxxis was recently recognized with gold A’ (A-Prime) Design Award for its N Vision intelligent tire.

The international A’ Design Award competition honors good design across a variety of categories including transportation, hospitality, furnishings, beauty and much more; winners were selected by a jury made up of 316 leading designers, academics and influential press members. The N Vision was recognized in the Vehicle Parts, Auto Accessories and Care Products design category.

Designed for the autonomous cars scheduled to hit the mass market in 2030, N Vision uses data from multiple sensors to predict road conditions, vehicle load, speed and tire condition. It then adapts to those conditions by adjusting the stretch and bending of its spokes, providing optimal pre-compression or pre-tension to the tread area. N Vision’s intelligent technology thus allows for lower travel costs per mile.

Maximizing its sustainability, N Vision was developed using bio-based materials created from rice husks and sunflower seeds and recycled materials created from discarded tires, PET bottles and fishing nets. Its eco-friendly design and materials reduce tire scrapping and provide consumers with an affordable, renewable travel option.
