The last four numbers relate to the date of manufacture, so you can identify the age of your tyre. In this example, the date code is 1017 which would mean that the tyre was manufactured in the 10th week of 2017. 6. European ECE Type Approval The 2 numbers on a tyre sidewall that come before the tyre speed rating are the load index. This shows you the maximum weight of the vehicle (and any load it’s carrying) for that tyre.They were initially introduced in 2012 to help drivers identify the most suitable tyres for their vehicles.

Often, the tyre speed rating will be a faster speed than your car's able to go. That’s mainly for safety reasons, to make sure that you tyre performance is never worse than the car’s performance.Rolling resistance is the force that resists the motion of an object that is rolling on a surface. It is an important factor in the construction and design of vehicles, as it affects the amount of energy needed for the vehicle to move. The EU tyre label is a simple and effective way to compare the performance of tyres and help decide which are the best for your needs.

The first three digits. This displays the width of the tyre in millimetres. A tyre marked 225 will measure 225mm across the tread from sidewall to sidewall. Aspect ratio Many tyre manufacturers now offer models specifically designed to minimise rolling resistance to boost efficiency. Wet gripThe fourth and fifth digits of the tyre code that immediately follow the tyre width. The aspect ratio or profile height of the tyre sidewall is expressed as a percentage of the tyre width. So an aspect ratio of 55 for example means that the profile height of the tyre is 55% of its width. Radial This indicates that outer diameter or tread width of the tyre differs from a normal tyre.

(Important for a perfect bond) – 5-10 Minutes Per Tyre – Up to 5-10 passes may be requiredThis is a measure of the tyre’s rolling resistance, or the amount of energy that is lost when a tyre is rolling – normally due to the constant deformation of a tyre as you drive. A tyre with lower rolling resistance requires less energy to roll, will provide better fuel economy and will have a higher energy rating. Elsewhere on your tyres you will see the manufacturer’s name, the name of the tyre model and information about where and when the tyre was made.
