How to Choose Fuel-Efficient Tires? EU Tire Label & Consumption

Vehicle owners usually focus solely on grip and lifespan when buying tires. However, tire selection is one of the most critical factors, affecting total fuel consumption by up to 20%.

What is Rolling Resistance?

Rolling resistance is the energy a tire loses during rotation due to friction and deformation. The lower the rolling resistance, the less power and fuel the engine requires to turn the tire.

Fuel Efficiency Classes on the EU Tire Label

EU labels found on new tires feature ratings from A to E:

Class A Tire: Offers the lowest rolling resistance and highest fuel efficiency.
Class E Tire: Has the highest rolling resistance and consumes more fuel.
What is the Difference? Between a set of Class A tires and Class E tires, fuel consumption can vary by an average of 0.5 to 0.8 liters per 100 kilometers.

Do Wide Tires Consume More Fuel?

Choosing wider tires beyond the original dimensions increases road contact surface and friction. This slows down vehicle acceleration and spikes fuel consumption.
