Verified Low Rolling Resistance Tires

Based upon data provided by tire manufacturers and EPA testing and research, EPA determined that certain tire models can provide a reduction in NOx emissions and an estimated fuel savings of 3% or greater, relative to the "best selling" new tires for line haul trucks, when used on all five axles on long haul class 8 trucks. The options offered 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.

To date, EPA has verified the following low rolling resistance tires. In order to be eligible for funding under the DERA, verified low rolling resistance tires must be specifically listed on EPA’s verified technology list.
