HP2

The ECE certificate awarded by KBA (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt - Federal Motor Vehicle and Transport Authority)
authorises the manufacturer of “King Meiler” to produce pneumatic tyres and allows international comparison of compliance with uniform technical requirements. The number issued for this is specific and cannot be interchanged. Many facts can be seen on the ECE number: Number “1” next to “E” indicates the country in which the tests have been carried out. Supplementary “108” indicates that these tyres are retreaded and intended to be used in motor vehicles, i.e. passanger cars and their trailers, while “109” indicates that these tyres are intended to be used in utility vehicles and their trailers.

The "Prüflabor Nord" [direct translation: Test Laboratory Nord] accredited by the "Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt" [Federal Motor Vehicle Office] and the "RDW" proves King-Meiler tyres a quality laying above the legal requirements of the ECE 108R and offering tremendous safety in reserve. Owing to extense tests recurring annually King-Meiler tyres carry the quality seal "Approved High Quality Tyres".

[Translate to English:] M+S-Symbol („Mud and Snow“)
In Deutschland besteht – auch für im Ausland zugelassene Fahrzeuge – die sogenannte situative Winterreifenpflicht. Demzufolge sind mit „M+S“ gekennzeichnete Winter- sowie Ganzjahresreifen bei winterlichen Verhältnissen obligatorisch.

Verstöße werden mit Bußgeldern und auch 1 Punkt im Bundeszentralregister in Flensburg geahndet. Weitreichendere Folgen können sich im – auch nicht selbstverursachten – Schadenfall seitens der Kfz-Versicherung ergeben. Im Zweifelsfall wäre der Fahrzeugführer nachweispflichtig, dass eine Abweichung von der vorschriftsmäßigen Bereifung nicht ursächlich für den entstandenen Schaden war.

Am Ende bestünde zudem immer das erhöhte Risiko einer Gefährdung für die Gesundheit aller Verkehrsteilnehmer.
