Proposal to revise the limits for rolling resistance and wet grip, address tyres for vintage vehicles, and revise the definition for special-use C1 tyres.

Proposal to revise the limits for rolling resistance and wet grip, to address tyres for vintage vehicles, to revise the definition for special-use C1 tyres, and to set the wet grip index threshold at 0.80 for class C1 tyres with a nominal aspect ratio equal to or less than 40, a section width equal to or higher than 235 mm and suitable for speeds equal to or greater than 300 km/h and for class C1 all terrain and special use tyres. The proposal also introduces the k_worn factor in a new para. 3 in Annex 9 to address wet grip of C2 and C3 tyres in a worn state (see GRBP-75-26-Rev.1 for concept), provisions to allow the type approval of special use tyres that fulfil the requirements for snow performance as laid out in Annex 7, and a new definition of traction elements to characterize traction tyres.
