Tire information

An independent comparison test* conducted by the Landwirtschaftskammer Niedersachsen (LWK) in 2025 shows that tire choice can clearly affect the fuel efficiency of agricultural transport. Nokian Tyres Soil King VF delivered diesel consumption that was nearly 10% lower than that of three premium competitor tires.

Determining the correct tire pressure is a daily challenge for agricultural professionals. While it may seem straightforward, the reality is far more complex. But what happens if the pressure is just slightly off? In this article, our Product Manager Matthew Crocker explains why the tire pressure matters and reveals the easiest and fastest way to get pressure recommendations on the go.

Discussions around tire rolling resistance often focus on passenger cars, but the significance of rolling resistance grows with the machine. A heavy tire can waste considerably more energy than a lighter one, directly affecting operational efficiency and profitability.

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.
