EU Tyre Labeling

On November the 1st 2012 the European Union brought in a legal requirement on tyre labelling for manufacturers and retailers of tyres. All labels must display fuel consumption, wet grip and noise classification for that tyre.

Each label includes a classification from the best performance (green Category ‘A’) to the worst performance (red category ‘G’).

All tyres must have an EU Tyre Label displayed on it when it is manufactured and sent out to the garage or the customer.

Fuel Efficiency

This indicates the energy lost when a tyre is rolling ie. rolling resistance. The lower the rolling distance the less fuel is consumed and less CO2 emissions are released.

Wet Grip (Braking Performance)

Indicates how effective the tyre is on wet roads. Tyres that have a good grip in the wet will have shorter braking distances on wet roads. A indicates the best grip on wet roads, whereas G means very little grip in wet conditions.

Noise Emission

This is the exterior noise grading in decibels. On the black waves, one coloured indicates the best noise level at 3db below the legal limit in the future. When all three waves are coloured it means a high noise level.

Recent Customer Reviews

I phoned Driveway tyres through Yell at 5:45pm as we had a burst tyre and by 6:15pm Jon was at my car. 6:30pm I was back home. fantastic service and the price was great. I had a quote from another company that was only a couple of miles away and their call out charge without the cost of tyre was more than the complete job from Driveway tyres. fantastic service, workmanship and price. nice to see there are still reasonable and honest folk about. thank you.

I cannot recommend this company enough. Got a response within 5 mins of registering interest online. They came out in morning where the mechanic was really friendly, incredibly helpful and informative. He was honest and open and I really sensed he wanted to deliver what was best for me and the least expensive.Fitted new Tyre on the van and arrange to come back next morning to replace another Tyre needed.We will use these again & again. Customer experience is clearly at the heart of what this company does and they don’t disappoint. Value for money, very pleasant staff helpful, honest.Thanks Louise

Excellent service from Jon. Contacted me when the office was closed last night and was able to come and complete the job for me - replacing 4 locking wheel nuts and then replace a flat tyre by 11am this morning. Great communication skills throughout and price was excellent. Cant recommend him enough. Thanks Jon ?
