The new EU tire label gives you independent ratings for three important areas of tire performance: fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise. At a glance, you can quickly evaluate safety and environmental aspects of a tire.
A measure of the tire’s rolling resistance. A is the highest rating and G the lowest.
A measure of the tire’s braking performance on wet surfaces, from A (highest rating) to F (lowest rating).
The external rolling noise of the tire, measured in decibels. The noise class is shown as black sound waves, from 1 (quiet) to 3 (loud).
New tires must display the EU ratings from November 2012, typically in the form of a sticker. Your dealer must display EU ratings for each tire, so if you can’t find this information make sure to ask. You can also see EU ratings for each tire on the Dunlop website.
Label values shown are for illustrative purposes only. Values for a certain tire line/size may vary.
