Nokian Tyres plc was the first tire manufacturer to receive ISO 14001 environmental certification. All raw materials are selected with the aim of identifying the least harmful options.
Taking into account the life cycle of a tire, the majority of the environmental impact occurs when the tire is in use, and most of this impact is due to the vehicle's fuel consumption. Using an economical driving style – avoiding sudden braking and acceleration – can lead to fuel consumption sav…
Driving style has the greatest impact on exhaust emissions. Being aware of this and driving conscientiously can lead to fuel savings of 10-20 percent.
Nokian Tyres does not use any SVHC-rated (substances of very high concern) raw materials in its own production. The raw materials used for manufacturing tires include natural rubber, synthetic rubber, strengthening materials known as cords, soot, and various chemicals.
Premium summer and winter tires consume less fuel thanks to their lower rolling resistance. Driving economically and maintaining tires can also help with fuel savings. On average, tires are used to drive 20,000–30,000 miles so the saving may amount to almost 500 USD. This is enough to buy a complete…
Small particles (particle size PM2.5) give rise to the greatest risk and the most hazardous consequences, particularly in urban areas with the greatest exposure. Sources of small particles include large-scale dispersion of particles, traffic exhaust emissions, burning of wood, industrial emissions, …
Development of the structures, rubber compounds, and stud technology in winter tires has led to the emergence of winter tires that have better grip, cause less road wear, and have lower rolling resistances. Another important factor was to stop using highly aromatic oils in tire manufacturing process…
Modern, high-quality winter tires are both environmentally friendly and safe. The primary goal of tire manufacturers is to develop safe tires that are also environmentally friendly.
Nokian Tyres' overarching principle is to facilitate safe mobility. The company develops tires with increasing levels of safety and environmental friendliness – whether studded or non-studded.
Minor superficial microcracking can appear when tires get older or have been exposed to sunlight and other environmental factors for too long. These minor cracks do not have an impact on any driving properties of the tire and are only a visual defect. In case of deeper or more distinctive cracks or …
By choosing Nokian Tyres, drivers are making a decision to support the environment. Over the life cycle of a tire, the majority of the environmental impact occurs when the tire is in use; selecting the correct tire can help reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Nokian Tyres long-term…
