The EU tyre label 2020/740 has been updated to include a newly formed scale designed to help you make a more informed and fuel- efficient decision on your tyres.
The old 1222/2009 eu tyre label gave consumers information on rolling resistance, wet grip and external rolling noise.
The new EU tyre label which comes into effect on the 1st May 2021 also includes information on tyre performance in snow and ice. The updated label also benefits from clearer classifications for wet grip & rolling resistance – which now have 5 instead of 7 scores from A to E.
EU Tyre label changes include:
- A QR code links to product information on European commission database.
- New fuel efficiency symbol to include electric vehicles
- New scale for rolling resistance & wet grip which goes from A – E (F & G are no longer on the scale)
- External noise classification. A, B & C classes now measure external noise for clearer information.
- Snow performance icons. 3 peak mountain with snowflake symbol & ice stalagmite symbol for Nordic winter tyres.
