Had our tyre supply rep in yesterday and due to European law as of 1st Nov 2012 all tyres will have a sticker on them that looks like the one on all the white goods.
It will show fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise.
Will be interesting to see if budgets are any good or not.

....ahh just what we need....another carbon crunching stealth tax to comply with life. Of course only blighty will comply with europe....the rest blockading ports or roads or selling clones with countefeit stickers
