* In the case of trucks, an FRT (Free Rolling Tyre) is a tyre which may only be itted on trailer or tag axles and not on drive or front steer axles. Bridgestone recommends
that truck tyres marked “FRT” (Free Rolling Tyre) only be itted on trailer or tag axles and not on drive or front steer axles. Neither Bridgestone nor any of its afiliated
entities may be held liable for any damage, loss or any other claim relating to an FRT-marked tyre which has been itted in the drive or front steer position against
Bridgestone’s recommendation, unless such damage, loss or claim arises due to a fault of Bridgestone or its afiliated companies.

European Tyre Labelling

REGULATION (EC) No 1222/2009
Since 1 November 2012, new tyre label regulations are in force to help promote safer, more economical and
more environmentally friendly road transport in Europe. The new labels indicate tyre performance in three key
areas: braking in wet conditions, exterior noise and rolling resistance.
FUEL EFFICIENCY WET GRIP

B B
7 classes - from A (most efficient) 7 classes - from A (best wet grip) to
to least efficient worst wet grip

could be up to 30% shorter braking
distances.
* Source: European Commission’s impact

Assessment SEC (2008) 2860.
EXTERIOR NOISE
Exterior noise levels are split into 3 categories and
• 1 black sound wave
measured in decibel (dB) in comparison with the new
(= 3dB already less than
European tyre exterior noise levels to be introduced the future European limit)
until 2016. The noise pictogram displays the categories
while the black arrow next to the pictogram indicates • 2 black sound waves
the noise level as an absolute value. (= already compliant with
the future European limit)
• 3 black sound waves

(= compliant with the
current European limit)
Note that external tyre rolling noise is not related to interior
vehicle noise
OBLIGATION:
The Regulation requires that tyres* produced after 30 June 2012 and on sale in the EU from November 2012 show
grade of Rolling Resistance, Wet Grip and Noise in all technical promotion materials.
* Some tyres are excluded, such as retread, professional off-road or studded tyres.
36
FRT (FREE ROLLING TYRE)
• Deinition
In the case of trucks, an FRT (Free Rolling Tyre) is a tyre which may only be itted on trailer or tag axles and not on drive
or front steer axles.
• Claim policy
Bridgestone recommends that truck tyres marked “FRT” (Free Rolling Tyre) only be itted on trailer or tag axles and not
on drive or front steer axles.
Neither Bridgestone nor any of its afiliated entities may be held liable for any damage, loss or any other claim relating
to an FRT-marked tyre which has been itted in the drive or front steer position against Bridgestone’s recommendation,
unless such damage, loss or claim arises due to a fault of Bridgestone or its afiliated companies.
M+S AND ALPINE MARKINGS
• M+S Marking Deinition

Based on manufacturer’s own statement, the M+S marking relates to the tyre’s tread pattern, tread compound or
structure providing better grip and braking performance in mud and fresh or melting snow.
ECE54 regulation
• Alpine Marking Deinition

All our tyres carrying the Alpine marking have passed a snow acceleration test in winter conditions as deined in the
UNECE Regulation 117.02 and the UNECE 109 which makes them suitable for winter use on snowy or icy roads.
