![]() ![]() I have bought 3 sets of General's Grabber AT2 -and have been extremely satisfied with every purchase. They now have around 15000 miles on them from a combination of summer and winter driving and show very little sign of tread wear which is a plus. You wont get stuck, but you also wont get round a corner. In the snow, they offer good grip for driving forward. ![]() Mud/Snow - again disappointing, still great offroad and in muddy fields though not as infallible as they felt on the Touareg. Disappointing as i previously had a set fitted to a VW Touareg which were brilliant, perhaps the smaller tyre size does not suit them. In the wet, these things are just dangerous.they provide next to no wet grip, leaving the vehicle under-steering even at reduced speeds. Above 15 degrees they begin to feel very soft and overheat which can be seen from the discoloration in the sidewalls. In the dry they feel better than the Continentals which were originally fitted to the car, though they have a definite best working temperature range of around 5 - 15 degrees C. They are used all year round for a combination of country and city driving. QR code for each tyre type identifier with link to EU product database (EPREL).I have these tyres fitted to a Nissan Qashqai 4x4.Reclassification for lower label classes:ĭ is the new E Class D no longer empty (for C1 & C2 tyres only) F and G merge to form E.Noise classes: ABC replace sound waves.In addition to the standard label values, there are additional icons relating to severe snow conditions (3PMSF) and/or grip in icy conditions (for C1 tyres only).Additional information (tyre type identifier = art.Under the new regulation, bus and truck tyres will also be covered (it now covers tyre classes C1, C2, C3).More information can be obtained from the European Commission's website: braking distance must always be observed.tyre's pressure should be checked regularly regarding the improvement of the traction on a wet road, as well as the fuel efficiencý.environmentally friendly driving can reduce sensibly the fuel consumption.declares and emphasizes that the actual fuel efficiency and road safety driving depends generally from the driver's behavior and more specifically: The tyre is categorised in 3 classes illustrated by 3 waves: 1 black wave - Quiet ( 3dB or more below the European limit), 2 black waves - Moderate ( between the European limit and 3dB below) and 3 black waves - Noisy ( above the European limit) Noice - This label shows you the noise level in decibels of a tyre. For a passenger car applying full brakes from 50mph, a set of A-rated tyres will brake up to 18 metres shorter than a set of F-rated tyres (b raking distances may vary according to driving conditions and other influencing factors) In an emergency situation, a few metres can make all the difference. ![]() Graded from A to G ( ratings D and G are not used for passenger cars). Wet grip - This label shows how well a tyre brakes in wet conditions. To put this in real terms, choosing A-rated tyres instead of G-rated tyres could save you more than 6 litres of fuel every 1,000 kilometres (b ased on an average consumption of 8 litres/100km) ![]() The difference between an A rating and a G rating could mean a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 7.5%. Based on three criteria it gives information about fuel efficiency, wet grip rating and noice levels.įuel efficiency - This label shows you how a tyre performs on fuel consumption - fuel efficiency is graded from A to G ( rating D is not used for passenger cars). In November 2012 a standart label for vehicle tyres was introduced in EU. ![]()
