Jäännöspyörien

Jäännöspyörien, a Finnish term often translated as "remnant wheels" or "surplus wheels," refers to tires that are left over from the manufacturing process of vehicle tires. These are not defective or used tires but rather new tires that are not sold through standard retail channels. This can occur for several reasons, including overproduction, changes in tread patterns, or the cessation of production for specific vehicle models.

Manufacturers may have surplus inventory that does not fit current market demands or specifications. Instead of discarding these perfectly functional tires, some companies engage in a process to repurpose or resell them. Jäännöspyörien can also sometimes include tires that were manufactured for a specific market that has since changed its regulations or preferences.

The resale of jäännöspyörien typically occurs through specialized distributors or directly from the manufacturer to bulk buyers. These tires are often sold at a reduced price compared to new, current-season tires. While the tread pattern or compound might be from a previous year, the tires are still considered new and unused. Buyers should be aware that the specific characteristics of jäännöspyörien might not align with the very latest advancements in tire technology or may be designed for older vehicle specifications. Nevertheless, they offer a cost-effective option for consumers seeking new tires.
