Chaoyang SW612

EU tyre label for every size: 6 sizes of this 3PMSF-marked tyre compared with the rest of the market

The Chaoyang SW612 is a 3PMSF-marked tyre for vans and light trucks. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 6 sizes (6 registrations including load and speed variants), for 12″ to 16″ rims.

Wet grip is rated C in every size, fuel efficiency D–E 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 155R13C (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency D · 72 dB), the weakest 155R12C (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency E · 72 dB).

On the EU market since December 2019; the earliest production week registered is 18/2019.

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).

Same label values, different brand

These tyres have exactly the same label values as the Chaoyang SW612 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.
