All you need to know about tyre labels

The tyres sold in the European Union are considered as mandatory to tyre labeling. Complete information is provided on the environmental and safety characteristics of a tyre in the EU tyre label and this information is based on three central criteria such as fuel efficiency, wet braking and noise level. These symbols on the tyre label help drivers to make a significant decision on road safety, reduced pollution and improved fuel economy.

1. Fuel Efficiency

A fuel efficiency rating is indicated from A (most fuel-efficient) to G (most fuel-efficient) in tyres. A better fuel efficiency lowers the cost of motoring and lessens harmful Carbone Dioxide pumped into the atmosphere. When A-rated tyres are chosen compared to G-rated tyres. 7.5% of the fuel is saved. It means an A-rated tyre may use 80 litres less fuel each year compared to a G-rated tyre.

Rolling resistance

Tyres use one-fifth of their fuel consumption because of "Rolling resistance". This friction is developed when the tyres touch the road. Based on the shape and composition, each tyre differs in the amount of rolling resistance. Less fuel is used and fuel consumption increases by 0.1 litres for every 100 km roughly between classes.

2. Wet braking

While discussing a vehicle’s stopping distance, tyres hold an important role as it reckons the distance from when the brake is hit until the vehicle comes to a halt. It obviously takes longer to stop the vehicle in wet condition compared to dry because the amount of water held on the tyres and lying on the road. The patterns are designed to support water dispersal and this is another core research area for tyre manufacturers. So, now you can compare how competently a tyre will perform in wet braking. The EU Tyres Barnet labels help drivers choose the tyre with the minimum stopping distance.

3. Noise level

This noise level is the noise generated by the external rolling tyre which is measured in decibels. The noise level of the tire is equated to the number of filled sound waves on the label. A single sound wave indicates that the tyre has the lowest noise level that falls between 67 and 71 dB. Three sound waves represent the highest level which lies between 72 and 76 dB. Tyres Finchley contains all EU label marking as discussed.

The labeling does not apply to all tyre types. The following are excluded:

Racing, Spike, Motorcycle, Retreaded tyres, Classic car tyres, tyres with speed index less than 80km/h, Car tyres registered for the first time before 1990, tyres as spare wheels, tyres for off-road driving, Run-flats.

Why are EU tyre labels required?

EU tyre labels support drivers who recurrently take motorway trips or travel long in various weather conditions, and make the drivers know how well their tyres can handle poor road condition.

Why did it happen?

It happened as the result of European Regulation aimed to reduce fuel consumption and decrease noise levels across Europe. As tyres are responsible for approximately 20% of fuel consumption, the EU phased in mandatory, rolling resistance reduction and delivered in two stages in November 2012 and 2016.
