Tyre Labelling
Find out what your tyre is trying to tell you
Here you will find everything you need to understand tyre labelling. Check out our handy pages below to get the low down on everything from wet grip, road noise to ensuring your tyres are energy efficient.
How a tyre effects road efficiency
A rolling tyre deforms and dissipates energy. The energy lost is known as rolling resistance and directly impacts on fuel consumption and the environment. Find out more here.
Gripping the road in the wet
Tyres with excellent wet grip have shorter braking distances on slippery roads – essential for keeping you safe in the rain.
Tyre road noise
The exterior noise of a tyre is measured in decibels (dB) and depicted by one, two or three sound waves on the label. One wave is the best, three the worst. Find out why here.
