Annex X – point 5.2.1.1.
5.2.1.1 The noise test of the silencing system and the replacement silencing system has to be executed with the same "normal" tyres as defined in paragraph 2.8. of UNECE Regulation No. 117 (OJ L231, 29.8.2008 p. 19). The tests are not allowed to be done with "traction tyres", "special use" tyres or "snow" tyres as defined in paragraphs 2.9.10, 2.11 and 2.10.2 of UNECE Regulation No 117. Such tyres could increase the noise level of the vehicle or would have a masking effect on the noise reduction performance comparison. The tyres may be of used condition but shall satisfy legal requirements for in-traffic use.
