A system and apparatus for generating electricity via at least one piezoelectric cable embedded within the tires of a vehicle is described. Electricity is converted from pressure exerted by the weight of the car compressing on the outer circumference of the tires as the tire rotates. The electricity is converted via the piezoelectric cable, and is then conveyed by induction to reinforce and supplement the electrical systems of the vehicle. The apparatus is configured as a complete circuit, facilitating the use of current within the circuit to harden or soften the piezoelectric cable, and therefore stiffen or soften the overall ride of the tires equipped with the apparatus.
