ISO test track influence on the EU tyre label noise value

Abstract

In 2009, the European Union (EU) introduced a directive governing the labelling of tyres, which underwent revision in 2020. This labelling system encompasses three key parameters related to tyre performance: wet grip (safety), rolling resistance (energy consumption), and external rolling noise (environmental impact). These label values serve as crucial information for customers seeking to purchase replacement tyres for their vehicles. However, the accuracy and reliability of noise measurements have been a concern. Testing conducted across various ISO-standardized tracks has revealed significant inconsistencies in noise levels, with variations of 4–5 dB between tracks. Such discrepancies directly impact the labelling process, introducing uncertainty. This paper presents results of tyre noise measurements conducted on a limited number of ISO test tracks and proposes a methodology to mitigate track-to-track variability. The study exclusively focuses on passenger car tyres. By addressing these inconsistencies, this research aims to enhance the accuracy and reliability of tyre noise labelling, thereby facilitating informed consumer decision-making and promoting environmental sustainability.
