Hello, friends of TiresBid! We have some new information to share regarding the stickers attached to every tire today, which relate to standard grades, fuel efficiency, braking distance on wet roads, and noise levels. These stickers are actually the EU Standard tire labels. TiresBid will explain the meanings of these three symbols.

  • Fuel Efficiency: This standard measures the rolling resistance of the tire. You might be wondering what rolling resistance is. Let me explain further. Rolling resistance occurs when the tire's surface contacts the road and how well the rubber can grip the road or return to its original shape. A tire with high rolling resistance means it has good road grip, but if the rolling resistance is low, it will result in less grip. The level of grip affects fuel consumption; the more grip, the more fuel is consumed. The fuel efficiency grades range from A to G, with A being the best. The difference in fuel consumption can be up to 5%. Most tires fall into the middle grade of E, which provides good road grip and fuel efficiency.

  • Braking Distance on Wet Roads: Most issues with vehicle performance arise from the tire's ability to channel water away from the tread and the tread pattern's effectiveness in cutting through the water film to maintain contact with the road while driving on wet surfaces. These two factors significantly affect braking distance. Tires that perform well in these areas will have shorter braking distances on wet roads, with grades ranging from A to F. Grade A is the best, with the shortest braking distance, while the difference in braking distance between grade A and grade F can be as much as 18 meters.

  • The last aspect is noise. There are three noise level standards, categorized into three levels. A tire with two bars meets the standard noise level. If it has only one bar, it has a decibel level below the standard, and three bars indicate a level above the standard. You can use this information to compare which tire is the quietest. For example, the Michelin Primacy 4 has one bar, which is below the standard, while sport tires like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or Bridgestone RE003 fall within the two-bar standard.

            Lastly, there's the Tyre Class, which indicates the type of vehicle the tire is suitable for. Most commonly, it's C1 tires, which are suitable for passenger cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. C2 tires are for trucks.

            This is some new knowledge that TiresBid Online wants to share with you, as we believe it's important for consumers to know. Currently, there is no clear indication of the differences between tires of brands A, B, C, and models A, B, C. The EU Standard sticker helps consumers make easier decisions when purchasing tires. Additionally, we want you to consider that buying tires is a long-term investment related to safety. If you purchase tires at a reasonable price that suit your needs, it is the most worthwhile investment. We don't want you to focus solely on cheap prices or promotions.
