How it compares in its sizes

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

Rolling noise
72 dB against a median of 70 dB in this size (2 dB louder).
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 5 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).
