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.

  • Dimension : 215/50 R18 96V

Your situation

You drive a 2024-onward Ford Puma requiring 215/50 R18 96V tyres. Wiltshire has 105 days below 7°C, 38 frost days and moderate black-ice risk. Snowfall is limited but present, at 8 days. The area also records 130 rainy days and moderate relief.

Summer, winter or all-season

Your chosen preference—separate summer and winter sets—is the strongest option in the supplied comparison. Summer/winter tyres receive three stars for rain, handling and mountain snow, plus two stars for light snow. All-season tyres receive only one star in each category.

Winter tyres are therefore relevant during the 105 colder days. Choose 3PMSF-certified models for that period. There is no Mountain Law requirement and no compulsory winter-tyre rule in the UK. A 3PMSF all-season set remains simpler, but it does not match your preference or the comparison ratings.

Mileage and running costs

Your annual mileage is below 10,000 km. At this usage level, differences in fuel-efficiency and economy scores still matter, but their annual impact is more limited than for high-mileage driving. Alternating two sets also divides use between them. Actual durability cannot be determined from the supplied data.

Points to watch

Wet and cold braking distances require extra caution, especially with frost or black ice. Maintain the vehicle manufacturer’s specified tyre pressure and check it regularly. Rotate tyres when appropriate to encourage even wear, while respecting tyre direction and axle requirements.
