ETRTO comments on NL GRB-61-03 NL proposal for amending tyre noise limits in UN Reg. 117.03 European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation - ETRTO References: GRB-60-08, GRB-60-012, GRB-60-14-rev1 presented by The Netherlands and GRB-61-18 presented by ETRTO Transmitted by the expert from ETRTO Informal document GRB-62-17 (62nd GRB, 1-3 September 2015, agenda item 7)

1/5European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation - ETRTOAugust 28, 2015 Key Comments The subset of C1 & C2 tyres used in the studies presented by The Netherlands does not represent the European tyre market and is biased towards low noise The database used in the studies presented by The Netherlands do not identify which tyres are traction marked. The definition of C3 traction tyres used in the studies presented by The Netherlands is not according to UN Reg. 117.02 ETRTO cannot enter into details on the tyre market pricing Any assessment in terms of future potential for improvement can only be done as long as all tyres complying to all UN Reg. 117.02 requirements are on the market.

2/5European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation - ETRTOAugust 28, 2015 Evaluation of tyre noise limits based on sold tyres in The Netherlands – C1 & C2 tyres ETRTO considered the database from which NL extracted a subset for their studies and, in our view,: The VACO database is representative for the tyres on sale in Europe The subset of C1 & C2 tyres derived from the extraction of the 2013’s VACO database is biased towards low noise and is not representative for the current VACO database. VACO C1 database (19569 labels) database of C1 tyres on sale in Europe (30820 labels) 4 % of VACO database C1 subset of VACO database used in M+P & TNO study (760 labels) Example for C1:

3/5European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation - ETRTOAugust 28, 2015 Evaluation of tyre noise limits based on sold tyres in The Netherlands – C3 tyres ETRTO considered the database from which NL extracted a subset in their studies and, in our view,: The subset of C3 tyres in the M+P and TNO study seems to have a similar distribution compared to the distribution of the C3 VACO database Traction tyres In the VACO database the “Traction” marked tyres according to UN Reg. 117.02 cannot be identified. However, the assumption in the M+P & TNO study that C3 traction tyres are all tyres fitted on the drive axle is incorrect. Consequently, the 2 dB(A) allowance is assumed for a too high number of C3 tyres.

Aspects of the tyre label versus the advice sale prices of car tyres in the Netherlands. Internet sales the Netherlands, 472 tyres size 205/55R16, http://www.autobandenmarkt.nl/index.html. ETRTO comment: The link between the 4 graphs is not considered and thus the conclusions are not valid
