The Rapid EffiVan is a summer tyre for vans and light trucks. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 13 sizes (14 registrations including load and speed variants), for 8″ to 17″ rims.
Wet grip is rated C in every size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 72 dB. 1 of 14 registrations carry the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) for severe snow.
The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 185R15LT 8PR (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency C · 72 dB), the weakest 215/60 R17C (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency D · 72 dB).

How it compares in its sizes
We compared each size with all other summer tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (13 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.
Strongest point: fuel efficiency. Weakest point: rolling noise, where most same-size rivals do as well or better.
All 13 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 Rapid EffiVan 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.
