A brief history of the EU Tyre Label
The EU Tyre Label, first introduced with the Energy Efficiency Action Plan sanctioned in 2009, aimed to reduce energy consumption by 20% by 2020. Not just car tyres, but various other products, home appliances, and even buildings fall under this plan.
You will find the following information about a tyre on a typical EU Tyre Label:
Fuel efficiency/rolling resistance
Rolling resistance is the energy required by a tyre to propel your vehicle forward. Hence, higher rolling resistance will lead to more fuel consumption and vice versa.
The EU Tyre Label outlines the fuel efficiency of a tyre with grades “A” to “G”. A tyre with an “A” rating will deliver high fuel economy, while one with a “G” rating is the opposite.
A “G” rated tyre will consume 6 litres more fuel than “A” rated tyres for every 625 miles you travel.
Braking/wet grip
The second information you get with an EU Tyre Label on car tyres Cardiff is its braking performance on wet surfaces.
The grades are similar to fuel efficiency – ranging from “A” to “G”. “A” rated tyres will have a shorter braking distance compared to “G” rated ones. The difference is around 18m or the length of 4 cars.
Noise levels
An EU Tyre Label displays the noise levels produced by a tyre in decibels. One black wave indicates significantly lower noise than a tyre with three black waves.
The difference between each black wave is 3dB; a tyre with three black waves will produce 6dB more noise than one with a single black wave.
