How it compares in its sizes

We compared each size with all other winter and 3PMSF tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (114 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.

Strongest point: fuel efficiency. Weakest point: rolling noise, where most same-size rivals do as well or better.

What the label means on the road (225/45R17)

Example: the 225/45R17 size, compared with the 668 other winter and 3PMSF tyres registered 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 114 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).
