Q. How do fuel efficient tyres work?

Fuel-efficient or eco tyres work by reducing rolling resistance, which means the car uses less energy to move when it connets with the road. These tyres are made from a special compound that offers a good balance between grip for braking, steering and cornering but also minimises drag as it rolls along - usually you can't have all three. Low rolling resistance is achieved by features of the tyres design like the tread pattern, weight of the tyre, and the shape of the tyre to reduces aerodynamic drag.

Q. The benefits of fuel efficient tyres

For every 4.5 litres of fuel you put in your car, a full 1 litre is directly related to tyres. So with a saving of up-to 10% over a more conventional tyre, fuel efficient eco tyres can really make a difference over their lifetime. More simply put, do you fancy 1,000+ free miles each year? Some would say that's an investment not a cost!

Q. How do I identify which tyres are the most fuel efficient?

Fuel efficiency categories are a main part of the UK & EU tyre energy performance label. Fuel Efficiency start from A (green) and as of May 2021 ends with E (red). Class A is the most efficient, while class E is the weakest of the five categories. New tyres come with the labels attached, and all reputable website (like Tyre Runner of course) display the label values at point of purchase.

Q. Do I need fuel-efficient tyres for my EV?

EV's tend to be heavier and produce more torque than their ICE counterparts; hence fuel efficient tyres with a low rolling resistance are even more important to maximise that all important range!
