The EU Tyre Label

The EU tyre label: more transparency, lower emissions.

On 1 May 2021, the European Union introduced a new regulation on the labelling of tyres with respect to fuel efficiency and other parameters. This is intended to enable you to make a conscious choice for more fuel-efficient tyres. Because this can contribute to reduced costs and lower emissions for both privately and commercially used vehicles.


In addition, the tyre label applicable with this regulation supports the EU's goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. Road transport and the reduction of the CO2 emissions it generates play a major role in achieving this goal.

[1] In the fuel efficiency and wet grip scales, "A" stands for the best performance class and "E" for the poorest. In the noise rating presentation (rolling noise), "A" stands for the best performance rating and "C" for the poorest.

[2] In the scale for noise rating presentation (rolling noise) "A" stands for the best performance class and "C" for the poorest

About the information on the new regulation on the labelling of tyres with regard to fuel efficiency and other parameters. Please note that actual fuel savings and road safety depend to a large extent on one's own driving style as well as on the specific conditions ( e.g. weather, topography, traffic volume) during the journey. Fuel consumption can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally responsible manner. To improve fuel efficiency and wet grip, it is recommended to check the tyre pressure regularly. Please also note that braking and stopping distances may change depending on the speed at which you are travelling and the weather conditions, and that appropriate safety distances should be maintained.
