Tyre Fuel Savings

Doing Your Bit

Fuel savings and Road Safety depend heavily on the way you drive.

Eco Driving can significantly cut fuel consumption:
Maintain a steady speed at low revs per minute and shift up early.
Tyre pressure affects both wet grip and fuel efficiency; regularly check your tyres and make sure that they are at the recommended pressure.
Make sure you allow yourself time to stop. A safe stopping distance should always be maintained.

Maxxis is developing tyres that meet safety and environmental standards while continuing to offer incredible driving and riding performance. If you have any further questions please contact us at Maxxis.

Most new car tyres now carry a label with information about the tyre’s fuel efficiency, wet grip and noise performance. This follows European regulation 1222/2009 aimed at reducing fuel consumption and helping motorists make better informed choices, now replaced by Regulation (EU) 2020/740 which makes this information easier than ever to find.

Why Regulate Tyre Labelling?

Tyres make an important contribution to road safety and to the environmental impact of road transport. However, all tyres don’t offer the same performance.

The Regulation enables consumers to make more informed choices when buying tyres. The EU’s targeted outcome is that road safety will improve and that the environmental impact of road transport will be reduced.
