Rolling Resistance
Rolling resistance is the energy lost as a tyre rolls along the road surface, caused by the continuous deformation and recovery of the rubber. Lower rolling resistance means less fuel is needed to maintain speed, directly improving fuel economy. It is one of the three ratings shown on the EU tyre label, graded from A (best) to E (worst).
