The GT Radial FE1 City is a summer tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 17 sizes (31 registrations including load and speed variants), for 13″ to 16″ rims.

Wet grip is rated B in every size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 68–71 dB.

The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 155/65 R14 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency C · 68 dB), the weakest 185/55 R16 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency D · 71 dB).

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

What the label means on the road (175/65R14)

Example: the 175/65R14 size, compared with the 739 other summer tyres registered in this size.

Wet braking from 80 km/h

≈37 m with class B, against ≈41 m for the most common class in this size (C).

Fuel efficiency

Class D, the most common class in this size: no difference to the typical tyre.

Rolling noise

69 dB against a median of 70 dB in this size (1 dB quieter).

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 17 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 GT Radial FE1 City 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.
