A sustainable truck tire is a tire that uses fuel, raw materials, and wear as efficiently as possible throughout its entire service life. For transport companies, this means lower fuel consumption per kilometer, a long service life, and maximum utilization of the tire.
Tips for choosing a sustainable truck tire
Check the EU tire label
The EU tire label displays three key performance indicators, including fuel efficiency. For sustainable tires, look for options rated A or B for fuel efficiency; these have lower rolling resistance and therefore lower fuel consumption.
Choose radial construction
Radial tires generally offer better rolling resistance and mileage than bias-ply tires, which benefits both service life and sustainability.
Match the tire to the application
For long-distance driving, tires with low rolling resistance and high mileage are the most sustainable. Regional or urban transportation more often requires tires that strike a balance between traction and efficiency.
Consider regrooving or retreading
Many sustainable tire designs (e.g., premium brands) are suitable for regrooving or retreading, which further extends their service life.
