--- Quote ---From November 2012, a new law from the EU compels all new tyres sold to carry information that grades wet braking, rolling resistance and noise levels, using a picture system similar to that already used when buying electrical equipment such as fridges.

Heres what it says- From november 2012 a new law from the EU compels all new tyres sold to carry information that grades wet braking, rolling resistance and noise levels, using a picture system similar to that already used when buying an electrical appliance such as fridges.
Blah Blah....
Why is this such a big deal? Well with the grading system comes higher standards that could mean many tyres currently on sale at the bottom end of the market, particularly those from China, could become illegal overnight.
There is more, but you get the jist!

Fine, not a problem, we are getting some useful information, which 75% of drivers wont bother about.
What's the problem?
