The MONTREAL ECO-2 tire is a high-quality tire designed specifically for HP, UHP, Sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and crossover utility vehicles (CUVs). It offers several notable qualities that make it an excellent choice for eco-conscious drivers:
Environmental-Friendly: The ECO-2 HP, UHP & SUV/ CUV tire is designed with a focus on reducing its environmental impact. It utilizes eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes that help minimize carbon emissions and promote sustainability.
Fuel Efficiency: One of the key features of the ECO-2 tire is its excellent fuel efficiency. The tire's low rolling resistance design helps to reduce energy consumption, allowing for improved fuel economy. This feature not only saves money on fuel costs but also contributes to a lower carbon footprint.
Enhanced Traction: The tire is engineered to provide exceptional traction on various road surfaces and weather conditions. Its advanced tread pattern and innovative rubber compound offer excellent grip, promoting safety and stability, whether you're driving on wet, dry, or even light snowy roads.
Comfortable Ride: The ECO-2 tire is designed to provide a comfortable driving experience. It incorporates features such as a specially engineered tread pattern that helps to reduce road noise and vibrations, resulting in a smoother and quieter ride.
Longevity and Durability: This tire is built to last. Its construction includes durable materials and reinforced sidewalls that enhance its resistance to wear and tear. The ECO-2 tire's longevity ensures that you can enjoy its benefits for an extended period, making it a cost-effective choice.
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
