EU tyre ratings

The EU has introduced tyre ratings to help you make an informed choice when purchasing tyres. Tyre performance is rated in a similar manner to the energy ratings found on household energy appliances.

Fuel efficiency is a measure of the tyre's rolling resistance. A tyre with low rolling resistance is more fuel efficient since it requires less energy to roll. Fuel efficiency is rated from A (highest rating) to F (lowest rating). Class G is not used for truck tyres.

Wet grip

Wet grip is a measure of the tyre's braking ability on wet roads. Wet grip is rated from A (highest rating) to F (lowest rating). Class G is not used for truck tyres.

Noise

The external noise generated by the tyre, measured in decibels. The sound waves denote noise performance from 1 (quiet) to 3 (noisy).

EU tyre ratings can differ from one size to the next. If you have not specified all five parts of your tyre size, we display the range of applicable values for the tyre design.

Additional performance ratings

We test our tyres on over 50 aspects of tyre performance in all types of road conditions. The additional performance ratings indicate the tyre's capabilities in areas that are not addressed by the EU ratings.
