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

What more can I say than other reviews have said. An excellent service from beginning to end. From the time I made my telephone call to the completion of the job. Good workmanship and very efficient. Jon was very friendly and courteous and it was a pleasure to meet him. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who finds themselves in need of having a puncture repaired, a tyre or a battery renewed in an emergency or by general run of the mill.

My reason for contacting them was for a puncture repair. It was very convenient having the repair done at home especially on a Sunday when not many garages are open to do this sort of work. It was pleasing to know that their base is in Tonypandy too, something I didn't know until I checked for this type of service on the Internet and I only live in Trealaw. I will definitely use them again. Thank you Jon.
