Tire labels for car dealerships
Whether it's time to switch to winter tires or summer tires, the tire changing season is busy
Whether it’s time to switch to winter tires or summer tires, tire changing season is a busy time for car dealers, mechanics and tire shops. Therefore, it’s important that you have a good overview of your appointments, customers and tires in order to handle as many tasks as possible. You can easily achieve this by investing in solid tire labels with barcodes and a barcode scanner that can record your customers’ information (name, car brand, tire type, etc.) while keeping track of where their stored tires are in your warehouse so they can be easily and quickly replaced for next season.
Since May 1, 2021, there have been changes to the EU tire label legislation, so it’s important that you are up to date on these. The new EU legislation will make it easier for drivers to choose greener and quieter tires. This means that the familiar tire label needs to be updated with new labeling and the stricter requirements. Information about the tires’ wet performance and rolling resistance must be more clearly stated than today, while tire noise must be classified as A, B or C level. At the same time, the requirements are tightened so that the two lowest steps on the scale, F and G, which are also known for labeling, for example, white goods, are no longer legal to sell. In the future, only tires in classes A to E can be sold.
