When harsh, severely cold winters push other tires to their limits, the Eurovan Winter comes into its own!
Excellent traction and braking performance ensure that vehicles remain safely manoeuvrable even in extreme weather conditions. The directional stability is even maintained in the event of aquaplaning as steering precision keeps the tire safely on track. Even ground pressure distribution minimises wear and thus increases the service life. This winter specialist prepares your van for the snow and ice, effortless accelerates it on slippery surfaces and enables it to safely brake on both dry and slippery roads. Optimised handling features also improve directional stability.
For transporters and vans. When harsh, frosty cold winters push other tyres to their limits, the Eurovan Winter comes into ts own! Born in the USA, General Tire offers products for all types of vehicles, for all seasons and all terrains. Improved traction and braking performance in snow. Fits perfectly for example to Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit and Iveco Daily.

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
