If you're concerned with the environment, chances are, you're probably frowning at SUVs. Well, thanks to Perelli, a manufacturer of green tires, SUVs are becoming more earth friendly. Perelli has made an eco-friendly tire for SUVs: the Scorpion Verde.

The Scorpion Verde makes use of fewer raw materials, lessening the tires' impact on the environment, plus it's made from aromatic oil-free materails. The green tire, according to the makers, can reduce fuel consumption by as much as 3.9%, curbs acoustic emission by 30%, and its overall design is to increase durability, meaning less non-biodegreadable materials in city dumps.

Well, it's not much but it's a start.
