EU tyre label for every size: 141 sizes of this summer tyre compared with the rest of the market
The Continental SportContact 7 is a summer tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 141 sizes (261 registrations including load and speed variants), for 18″ to 24″ rims.
Wet grip is rated A–B depending on size, fuel efficiency A–D and external rolling noise 70–75 dB.
The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 245/45 R20 (Wet grip A · Fuel efficiency A · 72 dB), the weakest 245/40 R20 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency D · 72 dB).

What the label means on the road (225/40 ZR 18)
Example: the 225/40 ZR 18 size, compared with the 528 other summer tyres registered in this size.
Wet braking from 80 km/h
≈34 m with class A, against ≈37 m for the most common class in this size (B).
Fuel efficiency
Class C, the most common class in this size: no difference to the typical tyre.
Rolling noise
72 dB against a median of 71 dB in this size (1 dB louder).
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 141 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).
