(12a) Snow and ice tyres have specific parameters that are not fully comparable to other types of tyres. Tyres’ grip on snow and ice is typically good when their grip on wet road is low, but consumers are generally not aware of this distinction. In order to ensure that end-users are able to make considered and informed decisions, the parameters of snow and ice tyres should be displayed on the label.
