Tyre Label Ratings

Since 2012, the EU tyre label regulation has existed to ensure that tyres sold at point of contact have ratings in key performance areas.

This is to ensure that motorists have an accessible way to determine the performance of a tyre.

The 3 main ratings that a tyre is scored on are:

•    Wet grip rating
•    Fuel efficiency
•    Noise rating

The wet grip and fuel efficiency scores are marked on a scale from A – E. With A being the best and E the worst.

Noise ratings are scored slightly differently, with the scores sorted into class A, B or C. On top of this, the rolling noise of the tyre is measured in decibels and the number shown on the label.

As tyre models come in a variety of different sizes, you may find that the score changes from size to size – there is no model-wide scoring.
