Tyres RADAR 165/70R14 81H DIMAX 4 SEASON (M+S) (3PMSF)

In November 2012 a standart label for vehicle tyres was introduced in EU. Based on three criteria it gives information about fuel efficiency, wet grip rating and noice levels.

 

Fuel efficiency  - This label shows you how a tyre performs on fuel consumption - fuel efficiency is graded from A to G (rating D is not used for passenger cars). The difference between an A rating and a G rating could mean a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 7.5%. To put this in real terms, choosing A-rated tyres instead of G-rated tyres could save you more than 6 litres of fuel every 1,000 kilometres (based on an average consumption of 8 litres/100km)

Wet grip - This label shows how well a tyre brakes in wet conditions. Graded from A to G (ratings D and G are not used for passenger cars). In an emergency situation, a few metres can make all the difference. For a passenger car applying full brakes from 50mph, a set of A-rated tyres will brake up to 18 metres shorter than a set of F-rated tyres (braking distances may vary according to driving conditions and other influencing factors)

 

Noice - This label shows you the noise level in decibels of a tyre. The tyre is categorised in 3 classes illustrated by 3 waves: 1 black wave - Quiet (3dB or more below the European limit), 2 black waves - Moderate (between the European limit and 3dB below) and 3 black waves - Noisy (above the European limit)

 

 

 

Medina Med Ltd. declares and emphasizes that the actual fuel efficiency and road safety driving depends generally from the driver's behavior and more specifically:

• environmentally friendly driving can reduce sensibly the fuel consumption;
• tyre's pressure should be checked regularly regarding the improvement of the traction on a wet road, as well as the fuel efficiencý;
• braking distance must always be observed.

THE EU TYRE LABEL

 

• Under the new regulation, bus and truck tyres will also be covered (it now covers tyre classes C1, C2, C3).
• Additional information (tyre type identifier = art. no.).
• In addition to the standard label values, there are additional icons relating to severe snow conditions (3PMSF) and/or grip in icy conditions (for C1 tyres only).
• Noise classes: ABC replace sound waves.
• Reclassification for lower label classes:
  D is the new E; Class D no longer empty (for C1 & C2 tyres only); F and G merge to form E.
• QR code for each tyre type identifier with link to EU product database (EPREL).

 

The new Product Information Sheet (PIS) is generated in the EPREL database, based on the information -suppliers have reported:

 

It includes:

• Information shown on the EU label in tabular form
• Date of start of production
• Date of end of production (will be added by manufacturer, when known)
