braking distance must always be observed.tyre's pressure should be checked regularly regarding the improvement of the traction on a wet road, as well as the fuel efficiencý.environmentally friendly driving can reduce sensibly the fuel consumption.declares and emphasizes that the actual fuel efficiency and road safety driving depends generally from the driver's behavior and more specifically: The tyre is categorised in 3 classes illustrated by 3 waves: 1 black wave - Quiet ( 3dB or more below the European limit), 2 black waves - Moderate ( between the European limit and 3dB below) and 3 black waves - Noisy ( above the European limit) Noice - This label shows you the noise level in decibels of a tyre. For a passenger car applying full brakes from 50mph, a set of A-rated tyres will brake up to 18 metres shorter than a set of F-rated tyres (b raking distances may vary according to driving conditions and other influencing factors) In an emergency situation, a few metres can make all the difference. Graded from A to G ( ratings D and G are not used for passenger cars). Wet grip - This label shows how well a tyre brakes in wet conditions. To put this in real terms, choosing A-rated tyres instead of G-rated tyres could save you more than 6 litres of fuel every 1,000 kilometres (b ased on an average consumption of 8 litres/100km) The difference between an A rating and a G rating could mean a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 7.5%. Based on three criteria it gives information about fuel efficiency, wet grip rating and noice levels.įuel efficiency - This label shows you how a tyre performs on fuel consumption - fuel efficiency is graded from A to G ( rating D is not used for passenger cars). In November 2012 a standart label for vehicle tyres was introduced in EU.
