New tyre labelling regulations for 2012

Compulsory EU tyre labelling will come into effect in November of this year. The labelling system will show buyers the fuel economy and wet weather braking capabilities and noise levels of tyres. This tyre performance labelling could have an effect on the way in which we purchase tyres and the brands we choose.

Labels will rate tyre performance on a scale of A-G, similar to the scaling labels used on things such as domestic appliances. Therefore, customers will be able to see at a glance whether the tyre scores highly on performance. However, there is one area which cannot be rated on such a simple scale- tyre longevity. The conditions of use, wear and tear will ultimately determine this, but at least drivers will have some indication as to the quality of their tyres.
