Eco Info
What your tyre choice really means for the environment.
Rolling resistance accounts for approximately 20% of a vehicle's fuel consumption. Moving from a Class C to a Class A on the European label represents up to 0.3 l/100 km saved, or several hundred kg of CO₂ avoided over the lifespan of the set of tyres.
Durability is the second lever: a tyre that lasts 20% longer reduces raw materials consumed and waste generated by the same amount. Correct pressure (monthly check), a timely swapped set, and healthy alignment extend tyre life much more effectively than any rubber choice.
Wear particles and rolling noise complete the picture: tyres with the best noise rating (dB) and the most abrasion-resistant compounds limit non-exhaust emissions, which are becoming the main source of pollution from electric vehicles.
Optimal energy efficiency: optimize your fuel consumption and reduce the cost per kilometre of your vehicles.

Your situation
You drive a Renault Rafale Alpine, from 2024, fitted with 245/40 R21 100Y tyres. Norfolk has 110 days below 7°C, 42 frost days, moderate ice risk and 9 days of snowfall. The terrain indicator is low relief. Rainfall is listed at 115.
Summer, winter or all-season
Your selected preference—two sets, summer and winter—is the strongest match. The comparison gives this solution three stars for road holding and mountain snow, versus two and one stars respectively for all-season tyres. Both options receive two stars for rain and light snow.
There is no Mountain Law requirement and no legal obligation indicated for the UK. However, the 110 colder days, frost and moderate ice risk support winter tyres from November, then summer tyres from March. Usage cost is rated €€€ for summer tyres and €€ for winter or all-season tyres.
Mileage and running cost
At over 20,000 km per year, fuel efficiency and economy scores deserve particular attention. No tread-life data is provided, so actual durability cannot be compared. Seasonal rotation also divides annual use between two sets.
