The label has 3 tyre performance recommendations
Fuel efficiency
Wet grip
Exterior noise level
A
E
The new label will display different grades in “rolling resistance” where A is the most “fuel efficient”
and G the least efficient in class. The black arrow next to the grading (A to G) indicates the
performance level of the product.

D
Fuel consumption is influenced by the rolling resistance of the tyres caused by tyre deformation
when rotating, resulting in energy losses in the form of heat. The higher the deformation, the
higher the tyre rolling resistance and consequently the more fuel is required to move the vehicle
forward. In other words, lower rolling resistance means lower fuel consumption and therefore
lower vehicle emissions, including CO2.

WET GRIP
The most important role of a tyre is to provide safety - in all weather conditions. Wet traction or
grip is one of the most important performance characteristics of any tyre.
There is typically a performance trade-off when combining noise, fuel efficiency and safety
performances like wet grip. The labelling will allow customers to prioritize for themselves their
preferred performances.

A
The label will display a range of 7 grades where tyres with an “A” provide the highest levels of wet
grip and “G” the lowest.

EXTERIOR NOISE LEVEL
Exterior tyre noise levels are split into 3 categories and measured in decibel (dB) in comparison
with the new European tyre exterior noise levels to be introduced until 2016.
One black sound wave = 3dB less than the future tighter European limit
