EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes

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.

Amazing value, so much cheaper than premium tyres like Goodyear F1-GSD, which the Kumhos replaced, and yet so close in performance and in some ways superior too (as in steering feel, tread life and side-wall durability).
22.11.2014 from D Rawnsley
Good tyre in the dry and wet. Tyre only breaks contact with the road when pushed very hard. Water displacement excellent. Early to tell but wear looks even and smooth.
08.08.2014 from patrick hoyle
didn't think about the extra rubber sticking out due to the rim protector, I fit myself with not much more than a couple of spoons and the last bit to flip on was a bugger. A tyre fitter with a machine would never notice

Great alternative to the orignal tyres that were fitted from new. Half the price and have similair tread pattern
