Information regarding the EU regulation on labelling of tyres
From 1 November 2012, all tires offered in the EU for cars, SUVs, light trucks and trucks produced from 30 June 2012 must be marked in accordance with a single system.
Fuel efficiency
The fuel dispenser symbol represents the fuel efficiency class that is determined by the rolling resistance coefficient. By reducing the rolling resistance fuel and thus CO₂ is saved. The rating is given in classes A (green) to G (red).
External rolling noise
The loudspeaker symbol stands for the noise emission (external rolling noise) of the tires. And that affects the overall volume of the vehicle and thus not only affects the ride comfort, but also the noise pollution for the environment. The more black bars the symbol shows, the louder the tire.
Wet grip
The rain cloud symbol represents the wet grip properties of the tires and is important for safety when driving. Here the performance is divided into classes A to G, where D and G are not occupied.
