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.

It has been a pleasant experience so far

Really nice tyre, giving a comfortable ride, also has good grip and responsive when driving more actively.

10.12.2018 from Nick Skew
When I purchased the car in July 2017 it was fitted with Hankook tyres and they performed well. Previously I had a 2015 TT and for that I purchased a space saver wheel which I transferred to the TTS. I then discovered it wouldn't fit on the front wheels of the TTS because of the larger brake callipers. So I then had a dilemma as I don't trust the inflation kits supplied with the car. I therefore went for run flat tyres and the Goodyear F1 Eagles looked a good option (but not cheap!). When the tyres were delivered to Boxley tyres (excellent) they advised that they wouldn't have ordered run flats for a car like the TTS as they have stiffer side walls. However, to be honest, I haven't noticed any difference and I can drive with confidence that worst case I can carry on for 50 miles with a flat tyre and have the space saver if necessary which in the event of a rear puncture I can fit or in the case of a front puncture swap a rear wheel to the front. I have driven through some horrendous rain recently and the grip has been good. This car being quattro you don't slow down for puddles!
