Headway HR601
EU tyre label for every size: 18 sizes of this summer tyre compared with the rest of the market
The Headway HR601 is a summer tyre for vans and light trucks. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 18 sizes (47 registrations including load and speed variants), for 13″ to 16″ rims.
Wet grip is rated C in every size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 70–71 dB.
The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 185R14C (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency C · 71 dB), the weakest 235/65 R16C (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency D · 71 dB).
On the EU market since June 2020; the earliest production week registered is 01/2018.
How it compares in its sizes
We compared each size with all other summer tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (18 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.
Strongest point: rolling noise. Weakest point: wet grip, where most same-size rivals do as well or better.
All 18 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 Headway HR601 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.
