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 Volvo XC40, produced from 2017 onward. The specified tyre size is 235/55 R18 100V. Cheshire has 110 days below 7°C, 42 frost days, moderate ice risk, and 10 days of snowfall. Rainfall is recorded at 140, with some relief.

Summer, winter or all-season

Your selected preference—two sets of summer and winter tyres—is the strongest option for these conditions. This solution receives three stars for rain, handling, light snow, and mountain snow, versus one star for all-season tyres.

There is no Mountain Law requirement and no UK obligation stated here. However, the many cold days, frost, ice, and snowfall support using 3PMSF-certified winter tyres. The suggested changeover periods are November and March. The indicated usage-cost levels are €€€ for summer, € for winter, and €€ for all-season tyres.

Mileage and running costs

At 10,000–20,000 km per year, durability and efficiency matter. Using two sets distributes mileage between them, although storage and seasonal changeovers must be considered. EU fuel ratings and economy scores help compare running efficiency. Actual wear will also depend on pressure, rotation, and driving conditions.

Recommended tyres

•GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC 6 — 235/55 R18 100V: exact specified load and speed indices. EU A fuel / A wet grip. Global score 89, economy 87, ecology 74. A strong summer choice, particularly for wet braking and efficiency. Not 3PMSF-certified.

•GOODYEAR ULTRAGRIP PERFORMANCE 3 — 235/55 R18 104V: higher load index while retaining the V speed index. 3PMSF-certified. EU C fuel / B wet grip. Global score 77, economy 54, ecology 69. Suited to the cold and snowy part of the year.

•As an all-season alternative, GOODYEAR VECTOR 4SEASONS GEN-3 — 235/55 R18 100V: exact indices, 3PMSF, EU B/B, global 73, economy 81, ecology 68. However, it scores less favourably than two sets for local conditions.

Points to watch

Wet and cold braking performance remains essential. Check pressures regularly and follow the vehicle requirements. Rotate tyres where appropriate to promote even wear. Confirm any higher load index with a professional. This advice is indicative and does not replace an inspection or recommendation from a tyre specialist.
