The new EURO*FROST 5 feels most comfortable in snow or ice.
The challenge of mastering a wide range of weather conditions has been excellently met by the Gislaved expertise. For compact-class and middle-class vehicles and SUVs. Masters a wide range of weather conditions in winter. Tested under the toughest climates of Sweden, Gislaved offers superb grip and control in all conditions. Optimum traction on snow. Fits perfectly for example to Landrover Freelander, Volvo XC 70 and BMW X5.
Safety in all road conditions:
High groove volume with multiple block edges, high number of transversal sipes
Excellent ability to take on snow and great snow-snow friction
Optimum snow traction.
Effektiveness and convenience:
Narrow zig-zag longitudinal ribs, that divide the blocks in the central area and the shoulder
Even pressure distribution in the ground contact area
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
