Amendment of UN/ECE Regulation No. 117 for tyres

SAFE TYRES UP TO THE WEAR LIMIT

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) has revised UN ECE-R117 in order to increase the sustainability of tyres and ensure their safety until they are worn out. Previously, requirements for rolling resistance, compliance with limit values for rolling noise or handling characteristics in snow and rain applied to new tyres. With the amendment to UN ECE-R117, manufacturers must now also meet these tyre performance requirements for worn tyres.
