Homologated tyres are those that have been approved directly via a manufacturer. These tyres are ones that have met the standards and regulatory requirements of the manufacturer.
The energy lost when a tyre is in motion is known as 'rolling resistance'. This has a direct impact on fuel consumption.
A tyre's rolling resistance score ranges from A to G. Over the life of the tyre, fitting an A rated tyre could save you up to 6 litres of fuel when compared to a G rated tyre.
A tyre's wet grip capacity is expressed in Grades from A to G.
The difference in braking distances between each grade is roughly 3m - an average car length. This makes average stopping distance between an A and G rated tyre 18m. That's 4 car lengths.
The exterior noise grade of a tyre is expressed in decibels - accompanied by one, two or three sound waves, with one wave being the best noise level performance.
To achieve the best grade, a tyre’s noise level must be at least 3dB under the legal limit set by the EU.
Strengths:
Shorter braking distances.
Steering precision.
Good grip and cornering stability.
Very good water draining ability, protecting against risks of aquaplaning.
Technical characteristics:
The solid shoulder blocks with channels to the tread provide steering precision and cornering stability.
The wide, circumferential grooves gulp and expel water.
The increasingly-deep lateral grooves reduce road noise.
The ventilated grooves reduce the "suction" effect and hence noise inside and outside the vehicle.
