Tyre labels

The European Union introduced tyre labels in 2012 to give motorists more information about the performance of the tyres they buy.

Tyres made easy

EU tyre labels are designed to increase road safety, help drivers get better value, and to reduce the impact tyres have on the environment. Using a rating scale from A to G, the labels enable you to compare tyres in terms of fuel efficiency, wet grip, and noise. Use the tables below to rate the tyres for your Honda.

What the label shows

Every tyre type produced after 1st July 2012 has been tested according to a standard procedure. The label shows the tyre's performance compared to that standard.

Fuel efficiency

Rolling resistance is one factor of tyres that can affect fuel consumption. The lower the rolling resistance, the less fuel is required to move a vehicle forward and the less carbon emissions are generated.

The difference in fuel consumption between A and G-rated tyres could be as much as 7.5%. For an average passenger vehicle, that is around 0.65L per 100km or 2.45 mpg.

Wet grip

Braking response is one important element of a tyre’s performance in the wet and is essential for safety.

The difference in braking distance between A and G-rated tyres could be as much as 30%. For a passenger car travelling at 80kph, for example, that can mean up to 18m or 59ft in the case of full braking in wet-weather conditions.

Exterior noise

Exterior tyre noise is measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the new European tyre exterior noise levels introduced in 2016.

  • 1 black sound wave = already 3dB below the future European limit 
  • 2 black sound waves = already compliant with the future European limit 
  • 3 black sound waves = compliant with the current European limit
