Blackhawk Ice Prey HW07
EU tyre label for every size: 18 sizes of this winter tyre compared with the rest of the market
The Blackhawk Ice Prey HW07 is a winter tyre for vans and light trucks. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 18 sizes (18 registrations including load and speed variants), for 8″ to 16″ rims.
Wet grip is rated C–D depending on size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 71 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 195/60 R16C 6PR (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency C · 71 dB), the weakest 235/65 R16C 8PR (Wet grip D · Fuel efficiency D · 71 dB).
On the EU market since June 2019; the earliest production week registered is 32/2019.
How it compares in its sizes
We compared each size with all other winter and 3PMSF tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (18 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.
Strongest point: rolling noise. Weakest point: wet grip, where most same-size rivals do as well or better.
All 18 sizes
The small figure under each class is the share of same-size, same-season tyres this size matches or beats (“–” when fewer than five tyres share the size).
