How it compares in its sizes

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

Same label values, different brand
These tyres have exactly the same label values as the Headway HLA968 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.
