Tyres and energy consumption

2 min read
QUICK ANSWER

Check approved tyre sizes and load and speed ratings in your vehicle instructions. Do not select solely by an efficiency label.

What to know

Consider rolling resistance, wet braking, wear and noise together. Labels do not represent every real-world condition.

Planning and usage

Use vehicle instructions and load conditions for pressure, not the tyre sidewall maximum. Check pressure under the conditions specified by the manufacturer.

Final checks

Changing wheel or tyre size can affect comfort, range and approval. Confirm compatible combinations with the manufacturer or service provider.


General information. Follow your vehicle and equipment manufacturer instructions.
