Introducing the Regulation (EC) No 1222/2009 for tire labeling

In 2012, a new standardized tire label will be introduced under the Regulation (EC) No 1222/2009 regarding the labeling of tires. The aim of this label is to better inform consumers on 3 key tire performance attributes: on the safety performance of tires by addressing wet grip performance, and on environmental aspects by providing transparency on fuel efficiency and exterior rolling noise.
