BFGoodrich Activan 4S

EU tyre label for every size: 18 sizes of this all-season tyre compared with the rest of the market

The BFGoodrich Activan 4S is a all-season tyre for vans and light trucks. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 18 sizes (23 registrations including load and speed variants), for 15″ to 17″ rims.

Wet grip is rated B in every size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 72 dB. Every size carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF), the mark for tyres tested in severe snow.

The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 215/70 R15C (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency C · 72 dB), the weakest 215/60 R16C (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency D · 72 dB).

On the EU market since February 2022; the earliest production week registered is 44/2020.

Same label values, different brand

These tyres have exactly the same label values as the BFGoodrich Activan 4S in most of the sizes they share, and both are registered in EPREL by the same manufacturer. Identical labels do not prove two tyres are the same: classes are broad. But consistent matches across many sizes point to a shared production family.
