EU Tyre Label
The EU tyre label rates tyres for fuel efficiency, wet grip and noise.
What is EU Tyre Label?
Classes range from A to E. Noise is given in decibels. Snow and ice icons may appear. The label was revised in 2021 and now includes a QR code linking to an EU database, and pictograms for severe snow and ice grip where applicable. Rolling resistance affects fuel and energy consumption, which matters especially for electric cars. The label is based on tests of new tyres.
How it works
Standard tests determine the ratings.
