General Tire Grabber AT3 Plus

EU tyre label for every size: 25 sizes of this all-terrain tyre with 3PMSF compared with the rest of the market

The General Tire Grabber AT3 Plus is a all-terrain tyre with 3PMSF for passenger cars, vans and light trucks. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 25 sizes (25 registrations including load and speed variants), for 15″ to 22″ rims.

Wet grip is rated A–C depending on size, fuel efficiency C–E and external rolling noise 72–75 dB. Every size carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF), the mark for tyres tested in severe snow.

The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale (passenger cars) is 195/80 R15 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency D · 72 dB), the weakest 285/45 R22 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency D · 75 dB).

On the EU market since March 2026; the earliest production week registered is 11/2026.

What the label means on the road (225/65 R 17)

Example: the 225/65 R 17 size, compared with the 650 other winter and 3PMSF tyres registered in this size.

Wet braking from 80 km/h

≈41 m with wet grip class C, the most common class in this size.

Fuel efficiency

Class D vs the typical C: ≈0.18 L/100 km more, about 28 litres more over 15,000 km for a 1,500 kg car.

Rolling noise

72 dB against a median of 72 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 25 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).
