Tire information

Because of our home in the Nordics where winters are cold and pose additional challenges to tires, Nokian Tyres knows the effects of winter conditions and cold temperatures on commercial tires. In addition to using dedicated winter tires during the colder months, it is necessary to adjust tire pressures according to the weather. This ensures that you are always prepared for whatever the winter throws your way.

Like other tire dimensions, the aspect ratio plays a role in determining the tire's performance and suitability for various applications. Together with other qualities of commercial tires, the aspect ratio affects the tire's height, load-carrying capacity, and maneuverability, which are all the more important when operating heavy commercial vehicles..

The correct tire size for your trailer impacts the safety, performance, and overall cost-effectiveness of your operations. This is especially true for heavy and commercial trailers, whose tires should withstand large loads even at high speeds and long-haul use. Find reliable commercial trailer tires from the Nokian Tyres website.

Maintaining commercial tires should be a regular operation for everyone who spends time behind the wheel of a heavy vehicle. In addition to checking tire inflation pressures and making visual inspections, regular tire maintenance should also include checking the tread depth.

Knowing how to read the tire sidewall and decipher different information about heavy tires is a useful skill to have when buying new tires for commercial vehicles. In addition to tire size, speed rating and load index, the tire DOT code can provide you with valuable information about the tires.

First-class tyres deserve first-class mounting. The installation work should be carried out according to instructions and safety measures to prevent any risk of injury or damage. Paying special attention to the mounting process pays off with a long, trouble-free service life for the tires and a safe working environment

Tire pressurizing entails the biggest occupational safety risks in the tire industry. These risks can be minimized by deploying the right work methods and exercising due care and caution.

One central aspect of tire specifications for light passenger vehicles and heavy machinery alike, is the load index. The importance of tire load is even greater for commercial vehicles, including trucks, tractors, forestry machinery, and earthmoving equipment.
