Did you know that it is mandatory in the United Kingdom to use only EU-labelled tyres on your vehicle?

The European Union mandated several guidelines in the year 2012 to make car owners aware of the tyre safety parameters. According to this, the tyres were labelled as per their noise emission, wet grip and fuel efficiency performance.

However, the EU made several changes to these guidelines and added a few additional tyre labelling parameters in the year 2021.

Understanding The Latest Tyre Labelling Guidelines In Detail

Tyre labels offer details related to the tyre safety and efficiency parameters, like:

Wet Grip

As per the new EU tyre labelling standards, the wet grip of a tyre will be measured with ratings ranging from A to E. Those models with an A mark will have the best short-braking performance on wet roads, and those with an E will have the worst.

Fuel Efficiency

According to the latest EU tyre labelling rules, fuel efficiency marking of a tyre will range from A to E. A tyre with an A fuel efficiency marking will offer the lowest rolling resistance and the highest fuel efficiency. On the other hand, those models with an E rating will have high rolling resistance and offer poor fuel efficiency.

Noise Emission

The latest EU tyre labelling guidelines state that noise emission of tyres will be measured in an ABC rating. Models with an A noise emission rating will have the lowest external noise, and those with B will emit the highest. Tyres with a C noise emission rating are completely banned as per legal guidelines.

Additional Changes

• Tyres made for snow performance will have a 3PMSF symbol.
• Nordic winter tyres will have a stalagmite symbol.
• All the new EU-labelled tyres will come with a QR code from which you can get details and verification directly from the EPREL database.
