Before buying SmartWay tires: what SmartWay verification means
SmartWay-verified tires are commercial truck tires that the US EPA has verified as low rolling resistance under its SmartWay program. A SmartWay-verified tire cuts fuel use compared with standard truck tires, and the EPA lists verified tires by manufacturer and model for steer, drive and trailer positions.
California requirements for SmartWay tire buyers
California's Tractor-Trailer Greenhouse Gas regulation requires low-rolling-resistance tires on heavy-duty tractors that pull box-type trailers longer than 50 feet in California, and on those trailers. SmartWay-verified tires meet that requirement, so fleets that run into California buy SmartWay tires for every axle of the tractor and trailer.
Choosing SmartWay tires by axle position
- SmartWay steer tires are bought for the front axle, with shallow rib treads and low-rolling-resistance compounds.
- SmartWay drive tires are bought for powered axles, with closed-shoulder lug treads that keep traction while cutting rolling resistance.
- SmartWay trailer tires are bought for trailer axles and are the most common SmartWay purchase, because trailers carry the most tires.
Buying SmartWay wide-base and retread tires
SmartWay verification covers wide-base single tires such as 445/50R22.5 and approved retread treads as well as new dual tires. Fleets that retread casings keep California compliance by buying SmartWay-verified retreads; see retread tires and wide-base tires.
Fuel savings to expect when buying SmartWay tires
SmartWay-verified tires lower rolling resistance, the energy a tire loses as it flexes, which reduces fuel use most on long highway runs at steady speed. Fleets buying SmartWay tires outside California buy them for that fuel saving on long-haul routes.
Buying a full SmartWay set for a tractor-trailer
A five-axle tractor-trailer on dual tires takes 18 tires: 2 steer, 8 drive and 8 trailer. A fleet buying for California compliance orders SmartWay-verified tires for all 18 positions, or 10 tires when the tractor and trailer both run wide-base singles on the drive and trailer axles.
Confirming SmartWay status before ordering
SmartWay status belongs to a specific tire model and size, so the exact model on the order must appear on the EPA's SmartWay-verified tire list. Keep the tire model and size from the order on file for roadside and fleet compliance checks.
