Stiff shoulder blocks deliver outstanding cornering stability.
Its band-shaped tread structure in the centre zone, similar to that of summer tyres, ensures shortest braking distances on dry roads.
Thicker sipes, with their spacers on the inside of the tyre, keep the sipes open when they pass through the ground contact area. This makes the sipes fill up with more snow and boosts the amount of extra grip on wintry roads.
Tyres with high wet grip performance (A or B graded) have shorter braking distances on wet roads and are, therefore, safer in the rain. As with fuel efficiency, the D grade isn’t used and there are no plans to use G.
Tyres account for up to 20% of your vehicle’s fuel consumption so, if you want to get more miles per tank of fuel, you should choose tyres with a high fuel efficiency rating. You will also lower your CO2 emissions. It comes down to rolling resistance i.e. the energy lost when a tyre is moving. The lower the rolling resistance, the less energy is lost and the lower your fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The difference between an A-rated tyre and a G-rated tyre could be as much as 6 litres per 625 miles.
This is the external noise made by the tyre and is measured in decibels. The more filled bars shown on the label, the louder the tyres.
