Dayton Van
EU tyre label for every size: 20 sizes of this summer tyre compared with the rest of the market
The Dayton Van is a summer tyre for vans and light trucks. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 20 sizes (28 registrations including load and speed variants), for 8″ to 16″ rims.
Wet grip is rated B in every size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 71 dB.
The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 165/70 R14 C 6 PR (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency C · 71 dB), the weakest 195/80 R14 C 8 PR (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency D · 71 dB).
On the EU market since November 2017; the earliest production week registered is 44/2017.
How it compares in its sizes
We compared each size with all other summer tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (20 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.
Strongest point: wet grip.
All 20 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).

Same label values, different brand
These tyres have exactly the same label values as the Dayton Van 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.

Its declared rolling noise is 71 dB in every size. In 95% of the sizes we could compare, it is at least as quiet as three quarters of same-size rivals.
How good is the Dayton Van in the wet?
Its wet grip class is B. In 100% of compared sizes that is at least as good as three quarters of same-size rivals.
Is the Dayton Van suitable for snow?
No size carries the 3PMSF symbol, so it is not certified for severe snow. In countries with winter tyre rules it does not count as a winter tyre.
When was the Dayton Van launched?
It has been on the EU market since November 2017. The earliest production week in its registrations is 44/2017; the DOT code on the sidewall shows the week and year of your tyre.
