Frequently Asked Questions

In general, tyre manufacturers have welcomed the introduction of the EU Tyre Label. It helps improve the information for the consumer, as well as driving safety, but also reduces energy consumption, which in turn contributes to environmental protection. The classification allows consumers to have a broader information base before buying a tyre and, together with other tyre tests and reviews, can become an important decision-making factor when selecting a tyre.

Manufacturers point out that the EU Tyre Label should not be considered as a substitute for further, more in-depth information that can be obtained from scientific sources such as tyre tests and journals. The Tyre Label can sometimes only give a limited overview of a tyre's performance, especially about winter tyres, as no form of performance in winter conditions is shown on the label.
