nowtelse2do Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 If ayone is intrested and I don't know how to post the link, but on the BBC News 1st of November, there was an article about these new EU Labelling guidelines that are being introduced. If you google 'this subject thread' you should be able to get it. Also on the Tyre subject , I have heard that legislation is coming out soon that covers the age of a tyre on vehicles that will be checked at Mot time.

colin Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I was looking at this on tv, can't help but think if the labels are displayed online when people are shopping for tyres it will be good, but for phoning around bit of a waste of time as you'll probably never see the label.

Derek Uzzell Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 For much more on this GOOGLE on "EU tyre labelling" (omitting the quotes). Continental's website is good for information http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/uk/en/continental/automobile/themes/tyrelabel/eu-tyre-label.html A couple of years ago, following a serious road-accident in the UK where old tyres were said to have been a contributory factor, representations were made to the Department for Transport that the age of a vehicle's tyres should be checked during the MOT test. Nothing came of this. Checking tyre age is not currently included in the MOT test and, as far as I'm aware, there are no firm plans to introduce such a check. It may be that Dave's statement "...I have heard that legislation is coming out soon that covers the age of a tyre on vehicles that will be checked at Mot time..." is correct, but I can't find anything on-line to confirm this.
