Michelin: Labelling helps motorists, but let's raise standards further

News

With the formal introduction of tyre labelling upon us, it is no surprise that the nation's leading tyre manufacturers are seeking to raise the profile of the label and what it means. According to Michelin, the primary strength of tyre labelling is that it has been introduced to enable motorists to make an informed decision about their tyre choice. But the leading tyre maker also looks forward to a tightening of the rules and a further raising of standards. One particular request is to include mileage/tread wear on future labels.

Is lovetyres.com the first e-tailer to filter by label?

News

Lovetyres.com appears to be the first tyre retail website in the UK (and potentially even the world) to offer customers the opportunity to filter their search results by label data. The feature went live on the website about 10 days ago, but with a few blanks from particular sources. However with the rules taking effect imminently manufacturers should be populating their data now if they haven't already done so.

According to a statement from the organisation designed to highlight the fuel saving benefits of low rolling resistance tyres, the difference between the best and worst tyres on the market in terms of efficiency can reduce vehicle fuel consumption by up to 7.5 per cent over the lifetime of the tyres.

ETRMA: Tyre labels are changing the way we buy tyres

News

For the ETRMA, the introduction of European tyre labelling legislation today is a marked step forward in the evolution of the market place. “Consumers will now be able to buy their new tyres knowing how fuel efficient and noisy they are, and how much grip on wet roads they provide. A new and now compulsory EU label will grade tyres from A to G for rolling resistance (fuel efficiency) and wet grip (safety), whilst the number of dBs on the label will display their rolling noise,” the association wrote in a statement flagging up the official introduction of the rules.
