Tyre labeling and what is it?
This is a piece of EU Legislation that came into force which in 2012 which requires every new tyre sold within Europe (with some exceptions) to be labelled based on the performance of specific criteria - much like a fridge, freezer or light bulb.
On the label there are grades given to 3 important categories that should be considered when choosing a tyre:
-
Fuel Efficiency
-
Wet Grip
-
External rolling noise
What is speed rating?
The speed rating of a tyre is displayed on the sidewall. You will find it at the end of the tyre's size. It is always represented by a letter - in the following example the tyre speed rating is "V".
Speed ratings are based on tests in which engineers run the tyre at 6.2 mph steps, in 10 minute increments, until the required speed has been met.
