Nexen EUROVIS Alpine 2
EU tyre label for every size: 33 sizes of this winter tyre compared with the rest of the market
The Nexen EUROVIS Alpine 2 is a winter tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 33 sizes (33 registrations including load and speed variants), for 13″ to 17″ rims.
Wet grip is rated B–D depending on size, fuel efficiency C–E and external rolling noise 68–72 dB. Every size carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF), the mark for tyres tested in severe snow.
The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 215/65 R16 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency C · 69 dB), the weakest 195/65 R15 (Wet grip D · Fuel efficiency D · 70 dB).
On the EU market since March 2025; the earliest production week registered is 05/2015.
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 (33 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.
What the label means on the road (205/55R16)
Example: the 205/55R16 size, compared with the 839 other winter and 3PMSF tyres registered in this size.
Wet braking from 80 km/h
≈41 m with wet grip class C, the most common class in this size.
Fuel efficiency
Class D vs the typical C: ≈0.18 L/100 km more, about 28 litres more over 15,000 km for a 1,500 kg car.
Rolling noise
70 dB against a median of 72 dB in this size (2 dB quieter).
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 33 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 Nexen EUROVIS Alpine 2 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.
