How to understand a tyre label?
Prior knowledge about these labels helps make an informed decision when you buy car tyres.
The labels currently include three icons that denote three features –
- Fuel economy
- Wet grip rating
- Noise rating
- Fuel economy
It contains a colour-coded scale with an alphabet, which ranges from A to G. Tyres with the best fuel efficiency have a green ‘A’ rating. On the other hand, tyres with lower fuel efficiency receive a red ‘G’ rating. Please note that the rating D is not used for passenger cars.
Wet grip
A tyre’s wet grip ability is rated on a scale of A to F. Here, ‘A’ is the highest rating while ‘F’ stands as the lowest. Passenger cars are not rated D or G.
Noise levels
- The EU rates a tyre’s external noise emissions in decibels. You can identify it from the symbol with three ‘sound wave’ bars:
- One black sound wave signifies a quiet tyre with 3dB or more noise.
- Two black waves indicate that noise is moderate and meets the current regulations.
Three black waves mean that the tyre is noisy, and therefore, above the permissible limit.
