What the label means on the road (195/65 R15)

Example: the 195/65 R15 size, compared with the 947 other summer tyres registered in this size.

Wet braking from 80 km/h

≈34 m with class A, against ≈41 m for the most common class in this size (C).

Fuel efficiency

Class C, the most common class in this size: no difference to the typical tyre.

Rolling noise

68 dB against a median of 71 dB in this size (3 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 39 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).
