Gripmax Inception A/T II
EU tyre label for every size: 8 sizes of this all-terrain tyre with 3PMSF compared with the rest of the market
The Gripmax Inception A/T II is a all-terrain tyre with 3PMSF for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 8 sizes (8 registrations including load and speed variants), for 15″ to 16″ rims.
Wet grip is rated B–C depending on size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 71–72 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 is 235/75 R15 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency C · 72 dB), the weakest 175/80 R16 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency D · 71 dB).
On the EU market since August 2023; the earliest production week registered is 10/2023.

Wet braking from 80 km/h
≈41 m with wet grip class C, the most common class in this size.
Fuel efficiency
Class D, 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 8 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).
