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 Volkswagen Taigo, produced from 2021 onward. The stated tyre size is 215/45 R 18 89V. The current Hankook Ventus Prime3 is a non-3PMSF summer tyre.
In Leinster, conditions include 95 days below 7°C, 140 days of rain, 30 frost days, moderate black-ice exposure, and 5 days of snowfall. The terrain indicator is ▲.
Summer, Winter or All-Season
Your preference is one set of all-season tyres. A 3PMSF all-season tyre is a practical match for the frequent cold and wet conditions, limited snowfall, and moderate ice risk.
There is no mountain-law obligation in Ireland. However, the comparison ratings favour separate summer/winter sets: three stars for rain, road holding, and mountain snow, versus one star for all-season tyres. They also score two stars versus one in light snow. Separate seasonal sets therefore offer the stronger condition-specific option. Even so, your one-set preference and Leinster’s limited snowfall support the 3PMSF all-season compromise.
Mileage and Running Costs
At 10,000–20,000 km per year, durability and fuel efficiency are relevant. EU fuel labels and economy scores help compare the options, but no service-life figure is provided. Regular pressure checks and tyre rotation can support even wear. Among the recommended tyres, fuel label B is preferable to C, while the economy scores range from 55 to 66.
Recommended Tyres
•Continental AllSeasonContact 2 — 215/45 R 18 93V: 3PMSF, fuel B, wet grip B. It has the highest all-season global score at 72, with ecology 69 and economy 57.
•Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 — 215/45 R 18 93Y: 3PMSF, fuel C, wet grip B. Global score 70, ecology 65, and the best all-season economy score, 66.
•Michelin CrossClimate 2 — 215/45 R 18 93W: 3PMSF, fuel B, wet grip B. Global score 69, ecology 72—the highest all-season ecology score—and economy 55.
Points to Watch
Wet and cold conditions increase braking risk: maintain safe distances. Check pressures regularly and rotate tyres for even wear. The listed options use load index 93 rather than the stated 89; confirm full vehicle compatibility with a professional. This guidance is indicative and does not replace professional advice.
