Ikon Tyres to complete Nokian rebranding by Spring 2024

Russian motorists can still purchase Nokian tyres, but the brand’s days are numbered in this market. After energy company Tatneft acquired Nokian Tyres’ local assets, it renamed the operation Ikon Tyres and began producing tyres under the Ikon name in June 2023. Ikon Tyres says the process of updating tyre sidewall moulds has taken several months, but it started the volume production of rebranded summer tyres in December. This means that all products that dealers sell from Spring 2024 will carry the Ikon name instead of Nokian.
