Recital 8 a (new)
Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) In order to ensure that a reduction in vehicle noise does not lead to a reduction in road safety, the Commission should examine the possibility of amending Annexes of this Regulation to ensure that, in order to pass the noise emission tests, vehicles are not equipped with more quiet but less safe tyres that are then put into service on public roads. This objective could be achieved by establishing more detailed requirements on what types of tyres can be used for different categories of vehicles in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 and Regulation (EC) No 1222/2009.
