The EU Tyre Label
Fuel efficiency
The rolling resistance in a tyre is an indicator of its energy efficiency, which has an impact on fuel consumption.
Wet grip
The wet grip class is a critical safety feature, relating to how a tyre can brake on wet roads. Tyres are rated A (the shortest braking distance) to E (the longest braking distance).
Noise emission level
Noise classes range from:
A: less noise outside the vehicle
B: more noise but at the permissible EU limit
C: exceeding the EU permissible limit
Snow grip
The label indicates that snow grip performance of a tyre in general is tested in accordance with Annex 7 to UNECE Regulation No 117.
Ice grip
The label indicates that a tyre provides a shorter braking distance on ice covered roads in winter and it satisfies the minimum ice grip index values set out in the ISO standard (ISO 19447).
Based on the EU Tyre Label, the Goodyear Ultra Grip® 8 Performance 205/50 R17 93V Winter Tyre has been graded with the following classes:
| Low fuel consumption |
F |
| Tyre grip |
C |
| Noise emission level |
A (67 Db) |
