With tyre labelling due to come in to force in November 2012 consumers will soon have better information when it comes to buying new tyres.
European regulation 1222/2009 means that customers buying tyres will have a better understanding of what they can expect from their purchase in relation to safety (wet braking) as well as the impact on the environment (rolling resistance & external noise). This information will be presented in a similar way to the label commonly found when buying electrical appliances such as a fridge.
TyreSafe, one of the UK’s leading tyre safety organisations, have put together a short video featuring the McIntyres that explains the new tyre label and some of the differences between “A” grades and “G” grades for each section.
