RIA Novosti reports this with reference to the EC.
It is clarified that the checks apply to tires for cars, vans, trucks and buses that are sold in the European Economic Area.
The EC has a suspicion that there has been a price collusion between tire manufacturers, which violates the norms of European antimonopoly legislation, the document says.
In December, the Federal Antimonopoly Service opened cases against LUKOIL subsidiaries in Nizhny Novgorod and Perm due to markups on gasoline at gas stations.
