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.

Very good grip, stability and wear. Noisy and uncomfortable.

07.12.2014 from C Ellis
I would not hesitate if these were the best value when i go to buy again. The grip in the dry is top level. The pattern is very nice and distinctive.i purchased 4 as at the time they stood out in terms of price and they were a great tyre. I has uniroyal rs2 tyres before and found they had a very thin sidewall and were prone to sidewall punctures. The firestones have a very thick sidewall and curbing bead. This gives a very positive feel when changing direction but also can make the tyres loud. Overall though they were great. Very grippy right down to 2mm. Even wear rate and never screamed or slipped ever.

Extreme tyre wear, after 11.000 km's the rear tires had to be replaced (normal driving, no "burnouts ")
