[ "All you need to know about tyre labelsThe tyres sold in the European Unionare considered as mandatory to tyre labeling. Complete information is providedon the environmental and safety characteristics of a tyre in the EU tyre label andthis information is based on three central criteria such as fuel efficiency, wet braking and noiselevel. These symbols on the tyre label help drivers to make a significantdecision on road safety, reduced pollution and improved fuel economy.1Fuel EfficiencyA fuel efficiency rating isindicated from A (most fuel-efficient) to G (most fuel-efficient) in tyres. Abetter fuel efficiency lowers the cost of motoring and lessens harmful CarboneDioxide pumped into the atmosphere. When A-rated tyres are chosen compared toG-rated tyres. 7.5% of the fuel is saved. It means an A-rated tyre may use 80litres less fuel each year compared to a G-rated tyre. Rolling resistanceTyres use one-fifth of their fuelconsumption because of Rolling resistance. This friction is developed whenthe tyres touch the road. Based on the shape and composition, each tyre differsin the amount of rolling resistance. Less fuel is used and fuel consumptionincreases by 0.1 litres for every 100 km roughly between classes. 2Wet brakingWhile discussing a vehiclesstopping distance, tyres hold an important role as it reckons the distance fromwhen the brake is hit until the vehicle comes to a halt. It obviously takeslonger to stop the vehicle in wet condition compared to dry because the amountof water held on the tyres and lying on the road. The patterns are designed tosupport water dispersal and this is another core research area for tyremanufacturers. So, now you can compare how competently a tyre will perform inwet braking. The EU Tyres Barnet labels help drivers choose thetyre with the minimum stopping distance. 3Noise levelThis noise level is the noisegenerated by the external rolling tyre which is measured in decibels. The noiselevel of the tire is equated to the number of filled sound waves on the label.A single sound wave indicates that the tyre has the lowest noise level thatfalls between 67 and 71 dB. Three sound waves represent the highest level whichlies between 72 and 76 dB. Goodyear Tyres Finchley contains all EU labelmarking as discussed. The labeling does not apply to all tyre types. The following are excluded:Racing, Spike, Motorcycle,Retreaded tyres, Classic car tyres, tyres with speed index less than 80km/h,Car tyres registered for the first time before 1990, tyres as spare wheels,tyres for off-road driving, Run-flats.Why are EU tyre labels required?EU tyre labels support driverswho recurrently take motorway trips or travel long in various weatherconditions, and make the drivers know how well their tyres can handle poor roadcondition. Why did it happen?It happened as the result ofEuropean Regulation aimed to reduce fuel consumption and decrease noise levelsacross Europe. As tyres are responsible for approximately 20% of fuelconsumption, the EU phased in mandatory, rolling resistance reduction anddelivered in two stages in November 2012 and 2016" ]
