The label is aimed at helping consumers to be better informed when buying new tyres. The indication of rolling resistance is an indicator of the tyre’s energy efficiency – thereby offering potential benefits in terms of lower fuel consumption and extending the distance that can be covered by e-vehicles between charging points. The wet grip measurement is an obvious measurement of safety, but an element that does not easily go hand in hand with the most efficient rolling resistance.
In order to account for stocks of tyres produced before May 2021, car and van tyres bearing the old label may still be sold until the end of 2021.
