The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.

16.08.2024fromJan Olsen My size tire was not available on the site, it's 21" and not 18". My experience is maybe unique to Tesla cars, but it has only 1-2mm left after 17000 km. With Hankook and Pirelli, I've gotten better milage... The tire can suddenly lose grip in aqua planing conditions, which I did experience once on the highway - and not with any other tire. But maybe all tires would have this issue under the same conditions. My main issue is that the tire wears our very quickly especially on the rim area, making tires wear out prematurely and they easily puncture if not detected (can see white threads, but not visible easily if on the inner rim). Some of this is likely due to Tesla ABS system activating easily in sharp curves, as I have not experienced these issues with other car brands. Both model 3 and model S have this issue. These tires I need to replace quicker than 17000 km as one of tires has just approx 1mm thread.
07.06.2024fromMalcolm McKay I chose the Pilot Sport 5s for my car for 6000 miles of arduous driving, leading a classic car rally around all of Greece. We were heavily laden and driving hard on very mixed surfaces. The Pilot Sports never let us down and showed impressive grip throughout. Even better, 10,000km later they have worn remarkably little, and very evenly. The sister car was on Toyos which admittedly are cheaper, but showed a LOT more wear.
22.08.2022fromJustin Size = 255/40/19. I had the Pilot sport 4 on the front, went for the PS5 on the back as they were just available and they were great. I would definitely go for them again but I just changed my car and it looks like Michelin do not support the new size tyres (305/30/ZR21) but I will keep checking Michelin.
