Minerva Frostrack Van
EU tyre label for every size: 24 sizes of this winter tyre compared with the rest of the market
The Minerva Frostrack Van is a winter tyre for vans and light trucks. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 24 sizes (26 registrations including load and speed variants), for 14″ to 17″ rims.
Wet grip is rated B in every size, fuel efficiency D and external rolling noise 72 dB. Every size carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF), the mark for tyres tested in severe snow.
On the EU market since April 2021; the earliest production week registered is 05/2021.
How it compares in its sizes
We compared each size with all other winter and 3PMSF tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (24 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.
Strongest point: wet grip. Weakest point: fuel efficiency, where most same-size rivals do as well or better.
All 24 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 Minerva Frostrack Van 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.
