N eon colored truck tires may seem a tad bit zany on the road, especially given the type of vehicle the tires would be on; however the reasons for having such an option is less the aesthetic appeal and more for the practical implications.

Visibility At Nighttime

Trucks, especially commercial ones that move through destinations with cargo at all hours of the day, need to be as visible as possible for other motorists. This is particularly true for those trucks that make their way in the nighttime as well as the early hours of the morning when the sun has not yet appeared. Since it is the case that this physically imposing vehicle can only be spotted when it is too close to one’s own vehicle, it would be in the interest of the safety of both trucks on the road as well as other motorists if the truck could be spotted a long way off. Especially in instances when the truck is speeding on the road as is sometimes the case.

Neon Means Safety

Neon colored truck tires would work as an early signaler of the presence of an oncoming truck, which would give the other motorists enough time to adjust their driving accordingly, if only to be better prepared for any eventuality. Accidents involving trucks cause the most carnage on the roads, so if one thing at the very least could help motorists identify the presence of trucks during times of least visibility, then the better it would be for preventing potential collisions.
