Increased traction and braking performances on snow and ice. The edges also act as support during cornering, supporting lateral forces and improving overall handling.

Sipes latest design The high level of lamination and the thin sipes are a major element in delivering outstanding braking performances on the lowest grip level roads.

New compound Using high levels of Silica, it ensures consistent performances, even at the lowest temperatures.

Labelling Explained

> EU announced in 2009 the introduction of tyre labelling requirements with regard to the display of informationon the fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise of tyres. (Regulation 1222/2009 with amendmentsEC/228/2011 and EC/1235/2011) > Its aim is to increase the safety and the environmental and economic efficiency of road transport in Europe.The labelling will allow end-users to make more informed choices when purchasing tyres.

> The regulation affects the following tyre categories:C1 = Passenger car, C2 = Light commercial and C3 = Commercial truck and bus. For passenger car and light commercial vehicle tyres the labelling information will be shown via a sticker onthe tyre.

The label information is visible throughout technical promotional literature such as; catalogues, leaflets andproduct websites.

Some tyres are excluded from the labelling requirements:

• Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990• Tyres whose nominal rim diameter does not exceed 254 mm or is 635 mm or more• Tyres designed only to be fitted on vehicles intended exclusively for racing• Tyres fitted with additional devices to improve traction properties, such as studded tyres• T-type temporary-use spare tyres• Off-road professional tyres• Tyres whose speed rating is less than 80 km/h• Re-treaded tyres

WHAT DOES THE LABEL INFORM ABOUT?

For Illustration Purposes only.

72 dB

The label contains 3 performance criteria:• Fuel Efficiency • Wet Grip • Exterior tyre noise from contact to road surface

For Fuel Efficiency and Wet Grip, the performance is expressed in 7 classesranging from A (the most efficient) to G (the least efficient).

For noise, the measured value is present on the label together with 3 symbolic sound waves (one wave is lowest noise and 3 waves for thehighest noise rating).

3030

The most important role of a tyre is to provide safety - in all weather conditions.Wet traction or grip is one of the most important performance characteristicsof any tyre.

There is typically a performance trade-off when combining noise, fuelefficiency and safety performances like wet grip. The labelling will allowcustomers to prioritise for themselves their preferred performances.

The label will display a range of 7 grades where tyres with an “A” provide thehighest levels of wet grip and “G” the lowest.ifens.

Exterior tyre noise levels are split into 3 categories and measured in decibel(dB) in comparison with the new European tyre exterior noise levels to beintroduced in 2016.

• One black sound wave = 3dB less than the future tighter European limit.• Two black sound waves = already compliant with the future European limit. • Three black sound waves = compliant with the current European limit.

WET GRIP

EXTERIOR TYRE NOISE



72 dB

Fuel consumption is influenced by the rolling resistance of the tyres causedby tyre deformation when rotating, resulting in energy losses in the form ofheat. The higher the deformation, the higher the tyre rolling resistance andconsequently the more fuel is required to move the vehicle forward. In otherwords, lower rolling resistance means lower fuel consumption and thereforelower vehicle emissions, including CO2.

The new label will display different grades in “rolling resistance” where A isthe most “fuel efficient” and G the least efficient in class. The black arrownext to the grading indicates the performance level of the product.

Customers should be made aware that the actual fuel savings and road safetydepend heavily on the behaviour of drivers, in particular the following: ecodrivingcan significantly reduce fuel consumption; the tyre pressure needs tobe correct and regularly checked for optimum fuel efficiency.
