General Tire Altimax ONE S

EU tyre label for every size: 81 sizes of this summer tyre compared with the rest of the market

The General Tire Altimax ONE S is a summer tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 81 sizes (100 registrations including load and speed variants), for 15″ to 20″ rims.

Wet grip is rated B in every size, fuel efficiency C–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 175/55 R15 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency C · 70 dB), the weakest 255/30 R19 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency D · 73 dB).

On the EU market since October 2018; the earliest production week registered is 40/2018.

What the label means on the road (205/55 R 16)

Example: the 205/55 R 16 size, compared with the 1,043 other summer tyres registered in this size.

Wet braking from 80 km/h

≈37 m with wet grip class B, the most common class in this size.

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 81 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 General Tire Altimax ONE S 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.
