The Delmax Touring C3 is a summer tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 29 sizes (40 registrations including load and speed variants), for 14″ to 17″ rims.

Wet grip is rated B in every size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 70–71 dB.

The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 175/70 R14 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency C · 70 dB), the weakest 195/55 R16 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency D · 71 dB).

What the label means on the road (195/65R15)

Example: the 195/65R15 size, compared with the 947 other summer tyres registered in this size.

Wet braking from 80 km/h

≈37 m with class B, against ≈41 m for the most common class in this size (C).

Fuel efficiency

Class C, the most common class in this size: no difference to the typical tyre.

Rolling noise

71 dB against a median of 71 dB in this size.

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 29 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 Delmax Touring C3 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.
