Regulation (EU) 2020/740 requires fuel, wet grip and noise classes to be shown — but studded tyres are explicitly excluded from its scope, along with retreaded, competition and off-road tyres.
That means these classes simply don't exist for a studded tyre. If a shop shows a label next to one, it's either the wrong product or the wrong data field. We show an honest "label not required" instead of an empty box.

Our rating is calculated from EU label classes. A studded tyre has none, so half the input is missing — no rating is calculated, rather than showing a zero.
The rule is that the same tyre type must be fitted on all four wheels. Studded tyres aren't combined with non-studded tyres on the same vehicle.
