Fuel-Efficient Winter Tire
Winter Tire News update
A new study released on February 04, 2013 by Transport Canada shows that the winter weather performance of fuel-efficient medium truck tires is on par with that of non-fuel-efficient tires.
The findings were part of “Packed Snow Performance of Low Rolling Resistance Class 8 Heavy Truck Tires,” which examined several brands of EPA Smart Way verified tires to assess their performance in packed snow winter conditions.
The study considered the impact of the tread designs and compounds employed to reduce rolling resistance on winter traction and braking. Transport Canada undertook the study in anticipation that proposed greenhouse gas emissions regulations in the country would force more Class 7-8 truck fleets to use fuel-efficient tires.
The study, conducted by the National Research Council, showed that current generation low rolling resistance tires offers a “similar level of snow traction performance as conventional tires,” while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
