The government will soon come up with a new 5-star rating for the tyre industry.
Tyre Star Rating: The government will soon come up with a new 5-star rating for the tyre industry. For this, Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) has completed its talks with the tyre industry. The tyres will be given ratings based on its ability to save fuel, ensure safety and prevent skidding of the vehicle.
It is believed that up to 10 percent fuel could be saved by using tyres with 5-star ratings. Along with this, the safety and skid ability of the tire will also be mentioned in it.
What will be the benefit?
According to ARAI, which comes under the Ministry of Heavy Industries, the new rule will make travel more comfortable than before. The objective of introducing star rating is to ensure that the tyre is more fuel-efficient and reliable. With this, oil consumption can be reduced by up to ten percent. These ratings will also give an idea of how the tire grips on twisty and gusty roads. Along with this, information will also be given in this rating about which tire saves how much fuel.
Existing rules
Currently, BIS rules apply for the quality of tires. This shows the same level of quality, but the customers do not know which tire they should buy. Because all tires come with a BIS certificate.
