Can you explain tyre labelling scores?
There are 3 main categories that are scored. Each one is as follows:
• Rolling Resistance
The
grades range from A to G, informing you about the relative fuel
efficiency performance level. A is the highest performance tyre in its
category; G is currently the least performing.
• Wet Grip
The
grades range from A to G, informing you about the relative wet grip
performance level. A is the highest performance tyre in its category; F
is currently used to represent the least performing.
• External Noise
The
tyre's exterior noise is expressed in decibels (dB) and will show one,
two or three sounds waves. These sounds waves highlight the performance
of the test against the current law. Three bars indicate that the tyre
meets current limits, two bars indicates that the tyre meets limits that
are to come into effect in the future and one bar shows that the tyre
is a further 3dB below future limits.
