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 an OPEL CORSA E VAN, produced from 2014 to 2019. The specified tyre size is 185/70 R 14 88T. The current GOODYEAR GT3 is neither 3PMSF-certified nor run-flat.
In Munster, Ireland, conditions include 155 days of rain, 90 days below 7°C, 25 frost days and 4 days below −3°C. Snowfall is limited, at level 3, with low ice risk and moderate relief.
Summer, winter or all-season
Your selected preference is two sets: summer and winter tyres. This is consistent with the comparison data. Summer/winter sets receive three stars for rain and handling, versus one star for all-season tyres. They also score better for limited snow, at two stars versus one, and for mountain snow, at three stars versus two.
Ireland has no Mountain Law obligation. However, with 90 days below 7°C, a 3PMSF winter set remains relevant. All-season 3PMSF tyres are a possible simpler alternative, but they do not match your preference or the supplied comparative ratings.
Mileage and running costs
Your annual mileage is below 10,000 km. Wear should therefore accumulate more slowly than with high annual mileage, although no precise lifespan can be inferred from the supplied data.
Efficiency still matters. All three recommendations below have a C fuel rating. The summer/winter option is shown as more costly for summer use (€€€), while winter and all-season use are rated €€.
Recommended tyres
•CONTINENTAL ULTRACONTACT — 185/70 R 14 88T: summer tyre with A wet grip, C fuel efficiency, 65 overall, 64 ecology and 38 economy.
•CONTINENTAL WINTERCONTACT TS 870 — 185/70 R 14 88T: 3PMSF winter tyre. It has C fuel efficiency, B wet grip and the highest overall score listed, 76. Ecology is 68 and economy 48.
•**HANKOOK WINTER I*CEPT RS3 — 185/70 R 14 88T**: 3PMSF, C/B EU labels, with balanced scores of 68 overall, 69 ecology and 69 economy.
Points to watch
Wet-road braking is especially important given the frequent rain. Maintain the vehicle’s prescribed tyre pressure, check condition regularly and rotate tyres when appropriate to promote even wear. Ensure the fitted load and speed indices remain suitable. This guidance is indicative and does not replace advice from a tyre professional.
