Is a new registration necessary for tyres that still comply with the new R.117 requirements?

Yes, a new registration is necessary for tyres that still comply with the new R.117 requirements.

If the tyre does not satisfy the new requirements, this should be indicated in EPREL as not placed on the market anymore and as from which date.

New limits/requirements CANNOT result in a label change. Any change in the product, to satisfy to new, stricter requirements, will necessarily involve a NEW registration in EPREL of the new and modified product (with change of product identifier, as well).
