New EU tyre laws???
ben-dent:
that is regulation for the manufacturer of the tyres to worry about, who else will give a [edit]
Tommo:
I suppose it is possible that many mud type tyres could perform so poorly when tested that they are deemed unsafe? We all know the difference off road tyres make and when compared with road pattern tyres I bet the results look horrific on paper.
Drift:
Dont all tyres sold in the UK have to be EU rated anyway? :?

Well you let me know when you go buy new tyres under the new system, pay the extra that they`re going to cost, and whether you still don`t give a Crap!
Also, when/if this law comes into force your current tyres will become illegal overnight

Don't talk utter rubbish!! This is not and cannot be a retrospective Law. Read 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 electrical equipment such as fridges.
Tyre manufacturers will have to ensure the information is supplied with every new tyre that leaves the factory while retailers will also have to make sure the customer is shown the information before sale.
It mentions nothing about tyres currently fitted to your vehicle, so stop scaremongering!
