EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes

The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.

Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.

The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.

With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.

Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.

Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

I like the way the web site was before when you showed if the tire was all season or not...can you change it back to that way

The tread wear was poor after 6000 miles and I rotated them at 5,000 miles. I purchased a road hazard from tires easy.com too. The outside of the tire near the rim was torn and I got 2 flat tires...right fron and right rear on Wed, June 17th, 2015. I have pictures and I sent them to tires easy.com and still no response. I guess I have to call them as I had to get 2 other tires and they look about the same but were a bit more. For wear and tear...I would not recommend them.

I wanted some inexpensive tires so I could test the wear when my Cayene was lowered. I bought these because you can't usually touch the 19 tires for under $300 a piece. I figured that I'd be unhappy with them but I could deal for a while. Well! I have to say that I am truly impressed with the performance of these tires. I still swing my 5000lb beast around hairpins without a second thought. They are not to hard and not to soft. Perfect for all around driving. I live in NH so I did put snow tires on for the winter but I did get a chance to use these in the snow. They were just as good as any other all season tires are in the snow. I did punch a hole through one of the sidewalls recently when I hit a sharp curb pulling into a parking spot ( truly embarrassing as I have never done this in my 30 years of driving). I think I would have torn the sidewall of any tire but it did seem that these were a bit thin. For under a $100, I had another tire ordered from tires-easy.com before the tow truck even arrived. People may hesitate buying a v rated tire over a z but seriously? The v is rated to 150mph; after that you are taking your life in your hands one way or another. Bottom line is that these tires perform and look like the more expensive tires. I am happy with them.
