New EU tire labels help drivers – especially useful for online shoppers
Europe has become the first region in the world to start using an ice grip symbol for tires. A snow grip symbol and QR code leading to a massive database have also been added to the tires. The new symbols help consumers to compare different alternatives and to choose safe tires that reduce emissions. As a winter tire pioneer, Nokian Tyres has long advocated for developing the labels.
Tire labels are being renewed across the entire EU. New labels are required on tires manufactured after May 1, 2021, so the new labels will start gradually appearing on tires
