Labels that tell consumers about a tyre’s fuel efficiency, wet grip and noise levels\u00a0have not worked \u2013 yet, the Irish Independent has reported<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"TomDennigan\"<\/a>Continental’s chief Tom Dennigan, says the the system was\u00a0introduced in late 2012 and it is still early days. “We never expected\u00a0miracles.” He points to the length of time it has taken for consumers to get used to\u00a0reading labels on the likes of fridges etc.<\/p>\n

Labels on tyres are supposed to be of similar help to those on kitchen appliances –\u00a0only they show wet grip, fuel efficiency and noise.<\/p>\n

On a more sinister note, Mr Dennigan warned about the risks of part-worn tyres. He\u00a0said you can’t know what hidden damage they have endured. UK experts claim the\u00a0majority offered for sale have come from vehicles that had been involved in accidents.<\/p>\n

Mr Dennigan said: “Ask yourself, would you be happy letting the safety of your family\u00a0depend on tyres that may previously have been on a vehicle involved in an\u00a0accident, or\u00a0perhaps even written off?”<\/p>\n

Many are winter tyres and, if put on the same axle as a standard tyre, your\u00a0car\u00a0will fail\u00a0the NCT. It is expected around 2m tyres will be bought this year. Continental also\u00a0unveiled their new e-Contact tyre for hybrid and electric cars.<\/p>\n
