Tyre labelling explained

What the label on a new tyre actually tells you.

Are you looking for Tyre Labelling for your vehicle?

On 1st May 2021, the European Union updated the tyre labelling guidelines and included a few minor changes. According to the revised guidelines, truck and bus tyres must have tyre labels.

The following section gives a detailed explanation of the latest EU tyre labelling guidelines.

New tyre labelling rules

Wet grip

According to the new rules, the wet grip rating of a tyre will range from A to E. Models with an 'A' rating will provide brilliant short-braking performance on wet roads, while those with an 'E' rating will have poor short-braking performance.

Fuel efficiency

Similarly, fuel efficiency rating will also range from A to E. Tyres with an ‘A’ rating will reduce the rolling resistance and offer brilliant mileage. On the other hand, models with an ‘E’ rating will provide poor fuel economy.

Noise emission

Noise emission rating will now have ABC grades. Tyres with an ‘A’ grade will have minimum external noise emission, while those with a ‘B’ grade will emit high external noise. However, the tyres with a ‘C’ grade are banned.
