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

Rolling noise
70 dB against a median of 70 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 2 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).
