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 BMW Serie 2 F46 Gran Tourer, from 2013 onward. The specified size is 225/45 R18 95W. The current Uniroyal RainSport 3 is run-flat but not 3PMSF-certified.

In Leinster, conditions include 140 days of rain, 95 days below 7°C, 30 frost days and 5 snow days. Ice risk is moderate, with limited relief.

Summer, winter or all-season

Your selected preference—two separate summer and winter sets—is the strongest match. Summer/winter tyres receive three stars for rain, handling and mountain snow, versus one star for all-season tyres. They also score two stars in light snow, versus one for all-season.

Ireland has no Mountain Law requirement. However, the 95 days below 7°C, frost and moderate ice risk support using 3PMSF winter tyres during colder periods. The displayed usage indicator is €€€ for summer tyres and €€ for winter or all-season tyres.

Mileage and running costs

Your annual mileage is below 10,000 km. Wear will therefore accumulate relatively slowly, making two sets easier to preserve over time. Fuel efficiency still matters, but your low mileage reduces its annual impact. Regular pressure checks and tyre rotation can help limit uneven wear.

Recommended tyres

•MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 — 225/45 R18 95Y: summer option with B fuel efficiency and B wet grip. It has the highest overall score, 75, plus 71 for ecology and 47 for economy.

•GOODYEAR UltraGrip Performance + — 225/45 R18 95V: 3PMSF winter tyre with B wet grip and D fuel efficiency. Scores: 71 overall, 60 ecology and 47 economy.

Points to watch

Wet and cold braking performance remains essential. Keep pressures at the vehicle-prescribed values and rotate tyres appropriately. The listed winter tyres have a V speed index, below the specified W; confirm compatibility with a professional. Also verify run-flat requirements, as this is not stated for the proposed tyres.
