New EU Tyre Labelling Scheme as of 1st November

[MrPete]

Well, this could prove interesting for our purposes - new labelling for fuel economy, wet surface efficiency & road noise!

Here's a link to the BBC's news report and here's the info (PDF file) direct from the EU.
It makes sense in a way, but is it another 'dumbing down' for the general European public when people should already be aware of what those four rubber rings on their cars do?

Your thoughts, dear Foggers...

[geeks]

It's only dumbing down for the masses who have little to no interest in how their car works..

For those of us who are petrol (or diesel) heads this is more of a "meh" change...

To summarize.....

If its a G G G rated tyre...then its probably just what we are looking for!
