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.

tyres where a real good tyre for the budget I had, no problems in any of the snow and wet conditions we had in the winter. The rear tyres are still on the car after 25000 km

Didn't have the chance to test the tyres on snow this winter ( January 2019) but on seems to be OK on winter temperatures. The tyres are very soft, so should be a good grip over the snow. Sometimes on cornering the ESP of the car was getting on, but you can easily adapt. You feel slight " sliding" effect, but it's because the tyre is very sift rubber. Using them for front tyres in summer even in UK is not a good deal. Now ( June) I have the winter tyres on the back and the same brand summer tyres on the front and the stability is very good.
These tyres won't be very stable on wet roads with hight speed - 70+ mph and the braking isn't very good, but as I said they are made from very soft rubber and good for winter.
Definitely suggest them instead of other budget brands for winter tyres!
