Euro 7 regulations

[OriginalBigAl]

The new Euro 7 regs start in November , and now we are being included with tyre and brake dust emissions. No doubt that new versions of tyres and brake pads sold after this date will have premiums attached to them to reflect the newer compounds and R and D involved in their manufacture.
The more canny amongst us might even think that the tyre stockists etc might have to start discounting existing stocks to empty the shelves, time to keep an eye out for those bargains and even buy them for future use even though you might not need them immediately .

Interesting, but does the condition of the road surface play a part in how much rubber will be removed from a tyre (as does acceleration). And what happens to those cars that now have a drift mode function designed for maximum tyre shredding?

Until you are ready to re-join the EU keep yer tyre shredding drifters off our nice smooth tarmac.

you might be interested to know that Goodyear has done that for the Vector 4season gen3. In the 195/60R16 popular amongst vans, they changed their manufacturing process mid life and their fuel consumption rating went from C to A in that size.
If you shop online for that tyre, you well see it carries two different EANs and the older compound is currently being sold along side the newer compound, but at a discount.

If you buy tyres to put into storage in the shed, you need to wrap them on cloth soaked in glycerine and they wrapped in industrial gladwrap, take photos of the date markings on the cases and write a log on how you preserved them.
No idea about over there, but tyres over 10 yrs from the manufacture date, are no longer legal for road use, even if the tread is as new, unless you can prove how they were stored to prevent the rubber from oxidising and the steel belts from rusting ....

I had a girlfriend that wanted to do something like that...but it wasn't tyres...it was me she wanted to wrap!

Edited because my brain isn't working today.

Have you oxidised and your belts loosened
Still, better than blackberries and whipped cream, those blackberry stains don't wash off ..... looked like I'd performed the scene out of American Pie, but with a blackberry pie
