Petition request
That the House of Representatives urge the Government to introduce mandatory tyre performance labelling aligned with EU Regulation 2020/740, and establish minimum wet grip standards for tyres sold in New Zealand.
Petition reason
New Zealand has no mandatory tyre performance labelling, no minimum wet grip standards, and no independent pre-market performance testing of tyres. I believe tyres that would fail to achieve the lowest grade on the EU wet grip scale can be legally sold here. I think that adopting EU-aligned labelling would cost very little—in my opinion, the testing infrastructure, grading system, and label design already exist, and most tyres sold in NZ are already tested to EU standards for export markets.
