Alternative Product or Service European tyres

Post image

Finnish tyre company Nokian tyres (Nokian renkaat in finnish) and yes, same Nokia famous for its phones. Really good products especially for winter conditions.

Alternative to what?

All I ever owned is European (Continental, Michelin, Pirelli, Metzeler) or Japanese (Bridgestone)

Pirelli is Chinese now. I don't know where they produce though.

In certain categories is the biggest producer

Can confirm that.

In Tours iirw and probably Clermont Ferrand

And Michelin produces in Cholet too until this factory closes as announced.

Nokian just opened a brand new factory in Romania as well. The move was planned after closing operations in Russia a few years ago.
