Imperial labels against all brands (passenger cars)

| Measure | Imperial | All brands |
|---|---|---|
| Class A for wet grip | 0% | 11% |
| Class A for fuel efficiency | 0% | 2% |
| Wet grip at least as good as 75% of same-size rivals | 45% | 52% |
| Fuel efficiency at least as good as 75% of same-size rivals | 74% | 61% |
| Noise at least as low as 75% of same-size rivals | 44% | 38% |

| Median rolling noise | 71 dB | 71 dB |
The “75% of same-size rivals” rows compare each tyre only with tyres of the same size, class and season, so a brand that sells mostly small or mostly large sizes gains no advantage from its size range. Because many tyres share a class, more than a quarter of all tyres reach this mark. The class A rows do not adjust for size.
