EPA has determined that certain tire models can reduce NOx emissions and fuel use by 3 percent or more, relative to the best selling new tires for line haul trucks, when used on all five axles on long haul Class 8 trucks. Options include both dual tires and single wide tires (single wide tires replace the double tire on each end of a drive or trailer axle, in effect turning an 18-wheeler into a 10-wheeler). Low rolling resistance tires can be used with lower-weight aluminum wheels to further improve fuel savings.
The following low rolling resistance tires are SmartWay verified when used on class 8, line-haul trucks:
