EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union, under CE 1222/2009, has mandated that all tyres manufactured after the date of July 1 2012 for cars and commercial vehicles include standard EU Tyre Labels classifying them by three performance characteristics:fuel efficiency classified from A to G,wet grip classified from A to G, and noise emission in decibels.
Categories of tyres unaffected by this regulation include: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing/sports car tyres, as well as certain types of tyres designed to improve traction such as studded tyres, T-type temporary spare tyres, tyres for cars built before 1990, tyres with a maximum allowed speed of 80km/h, tyres for rims with a diameter less or equal to 254 mm or greater or equal to 635 mm.
This label is intended on one hand to promote economic and ecological efficiency in traffic, as well as increase road safety, and on the other hand to help consumers select appropriate tyres by ensuring a certain degree of product transparency.
Nevertheless, the label has been criticized for only showing a very limited number of characteristics. Professionals argue that tyres have many more features that are important and relevant to road safety, including but not limited to aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, product properties on wet and dry roads other than wet grip, properties on snow.
Tyre manufacturers suggest that the test results from various institutions and industry magazines should remain a very important source of information for the end consumer, because they focus on and rate a wide variety of tyre properties and features.

These tyres are good for about 12000 miles on a heavy vehicle being driven progressively on a mixture of motorway, town and mainly A and B roads, with a variety of loads and the odd caravan trip. They outlast the Hankooks, Khumo, Dunlops and Goodyears, with almost as much grip as the best of the aforementioned. I would recommend these, and note that quite a few other people with people carriers use them. Might try some Uniroyal transport 3s next, as I've had success with them on a Mondeo Estate. If not, Im i'll stick with these. Buy with confidence.

I live on the Isle of Wight, with roughish country roads and no motorways. Crossfire always feels planted , stable with plenty of grip, wet or dry, stops and steers 100%. The FK510 set replace four FK453, which were good. The FK510 is better and suit the Crossfire well. I also have a Volvo XC90 fitted with SUV Falken FK510`s. These FALKEN`s are good tyres and well priced and are wearing at less than half a mm/1000mls . When we use the cars on the mainland A roads and motorways, the FK510`s high speed performance is excellent, wet or dry, hot or cold. I shall be buying FK510 again !!
