The efficiency class label evaluated based on customer preferences. Delticom centralized survey results from more than 40.000 customers from 15 European countries and created this index.
Confidence starts with grip. A stable tread design and next-generation rubber compound deliver reliable braking performance on both wet and dry roads.
Balanced pattern stiffness in shoulder area delivers shorter dry braking distances
Increased rubber-road contact area in entire footprint contributes to better dry braking
Next-gen compound provides superb wet braking
Built for distance. The advanced tread compound delivers performance you can rely on, journey after journey.
Advanced compound delivers an exceptionally long range
Optimized footprint pressure distribution leads to improved wear shape and enhanced mileage
Wet roads - steady control. Wide grooves and curved channels efficiently evacuate water, ensuring a smooth and controlled driving experience.
Middle channel elements create turbulence to help water escape from the center to the outer grooves
Wide longitudinal grooves ensure rapid water dispersion for reduced aquaplaning risk
Additional curved channels in the shoulder further decrease aquaplaning risk at higher speed
Enjoy peace and quiet on the road. Acoustic engineering and an advanced tread compound help create a quieter and more comfortable ride.
New tread compound developed for lower rolling resistance as well as extended range
Optimized pattern design reduces tire resonance for a quieter ride
Enhanced contour adjusts contact patch for lower noise

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.
