Tyre label
The European tyrelabel tests a tyre on it's rolling resistance, grip on wet roadwy and exterior sound level. During the development of a tyre, multiple aspects play a role in the quality of the tyre. These 3 important aspets however, provide a general idea of the overal quality.
Rolling resistance/ fuel usage
a lower rolling resistance saves up fuel. The values A down to G provide a from low-to-high on the fuel usage (A low-G high).
Grip on wet roadway / brake performance
In the categorie 'grip on wet roadway', the evaluation A to G shows an estimationof the brake distance. A scaling very short and G very long.
Exterior soundlevel
The exterior sound level is measured in decibel, divided in 3 klasses. Tyres with a low soundproduction produce less noise.
