Regulation (EU) 2020/740

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.

Had Goodyear Eagle F1 before,good tyre but expensive . settled on the Avons due to good price and good reports.Especially that reports said they reduced tramlining on BMW which has always plagued my car. Initially I thought I had made a mistake, they were hard /uncomfortable and didn't respond anywhere near the F1s. However after about 1000k they started to settle in and now I think they are brilliant. quiet comfortable and much less tramlining ,good looking too. Def buy again for this car.

These are truly great tyres and were my first and only choice when it came to replacing the old ones which had lasted very well. Grip is excellent, come rain or shine, and noise levels are impressively low. My car benefits from a full sports package so I like to throw it around a bit when conditions allow. These tyres offer great confidence and great value, too. Which are not factors you would ordinarily expect to find paired together. I thoroughly recommended these tyres.
