Great Britain retained Regulation (EC) 1222/2009, so the label here uses the older A to G scales. Northern Ireland follows the current EU label, which runs A to E and carries a QR code.
What it is for
Kumho lists these sizes separately from the ordinary PS71, under the PS71 EV name, and the tread is visibly different. The label grades for each size are read from the EU register, where Kumho files them under the shared PS71 name.
