EU Tire label explained

The new EU tire label provides important information about safety and environmental aspects of a tire. Similar to the energy label found on kitchen appliances, the EU tire label makes it easy to compare tires in terms of wet grip, fuel efficiency and noise. Explore the links below to find out more.

Fuel Efficiency

Fuel efficiency

A measure of the tire’s rolling resistance, which has an impact on your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Rated from A (highest rating) to G (lowest rating).

Wet grip

A measure of the tire’s braking ability on wet roads. Wet grip is rated from A (highest rating) to F (lowest rating).

Noise

A measure of the external noise generated by the tire, in decibels. The black sound waves indicate the noise class of the tire, from 1 (quiet) to 3 (loud).

Where can I find the EU tire label?

From November 2012, all new tires will display an EU tire label sticker. If you can’t find the label on a tire you should ask your dealer, as he or she is obliged to provide this information. EU ratings are also displayed for each tire on our website.

Label values shown are for illustrative purposes only. Values for a certain tire line/size may vary.
