Buying tyres isn’t just about size and brand. The EU tyre label gives key performance data to help you make an informed decision.
Here’s how to read it:
- Fuel Efficiency (Rated A-E)
- Lower rolling resistance means better fuel economy.
- A-rated tyres offer the best fuel efficiency, potentially saving you money over time.
- Wet Grip (Rated A-E)
- Indicated how well the tyre brakes on wet roads.
- A-rated tyres deliver the shortest braking distances, improving safety in rain.
- Noise Level (Measured in Decibels)
- Reflects the external road noise the tyre produces
- Lower decibel ratings are better for noise-sensitive areas and eco-conscious drivers.
What to Look For:
- Prioritise A/B ratings for both fuel efficiency and wet grip.
- Consider noise level if you do a lot of motorway driving.
Understanding these labels means you’re not just buying tyres—you’re investing in better safety, comfort, and efficiency.
