The energy loss caused by the deformation of the tyre when rolling is known as rolling resistance. With rolling resistance optimised tyres the deformation is greatly reduced by a revised design and the use of optimised tread compositions. The tyres which are approved by the manufacturer have an optimised rolling resistance and provide state-of-the-art technology in terms safety and client-related characteristics. The respective approved makes of tyres are listed in the following chapters → Wheel and Tyre Guide; Rep. gr.44.
