Continental CrossContact A/T2
EU tyre label for every size: 8 sizes of this all-terrain tyre with 3PMSF compared with the rest of the market
The Continental CrossContact A/T2 is a all-terrain tyre with 3PMSF for passenger cars, vans and light trucks. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 8 sizes (8 registrations including load and speed variants), for 15″ to 21″ rims.
Wet grip is rated A–C depending on size, fuel efficiency C–E and external rolling noise 72–75 dB. 6 of 8 registrations carry the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) for severe snow.
The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale (passenger cars) is 255/70 R15 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency C · 73 dB), the weakest 275/60 R20 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency D · 72 dB).
On the EU market since November 2025; the earliest production week registered is 47/2025.

Wet braking from 80 km/h
≈41 m with wet grip class C, the most common class in this size.
Fuel efficiency
Class D, the most common class in this size: no difference to the typical tyre.
Rolling noise
72 dB against a median of 73 dB in this size (1 dB quieter).
Estimates from the class ranges in Regulation (EU) 2020/740. A label class is a range, so a real tyre can sit anywhere inside it. Every 3 dB doubles the sound energy.
All 8 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).
