Since 2012 there has been a qualification in place for tires, ranging from A to G. A for least rolling resistance, so least contaminating, and G for highest rolling resistance, most contaminating. Contamination related to fuel consumption.
In 2014 the sale of category G tires has been prohibited and as of November 1st this year, category F tires can no longer be sold either.
In practice, tires with category F, fabricated after November 1st may no longer be sold in the EU, but tires fabricated before that date, so sold ´from stock´ may be sold for another 30 months, so till May 1st 2021.
