Choose the right tyres

The right tyres

Motorists can reduce their CO₂ emissions in several ways. The right tyres influence efficiency, safety, and noise levels.

Different tyre types

With a wide variety of tyres to choose from, each with their own unique properties, the EU introduced a European Tyre Label to help consumers choose (Source: Royal Dutch Touring Club ANWB). All new tyres bear this label, which contains the following information:

Fuel efficiency: Class A denotes the best fuel economy and Class G the worst fuel economy.
The braking speed in wet conditions at a speed of 80 km/h: a Class A tyre has the shortest braking speed and is the safest option, while a Class G tyre has the longest braking speed.
The noise level of a tyre at a speed of 80 km/h.

What difference does having the right tyres make?

If all Dutch motorists swapped their conventional tyres for efficient ones, CO₂ emissions would be reduced by 400 million kilos per year. This means one person with one car would reduce their CO₂output by 54 kilos on average per year, which is the equivalent of 81 litres of fuel or €150 per year.

Visit your local repair shop or tyre expert for more information about the right tyres for your car.
