Royal Black Royal A/T
EU tyre label for every size: 35 sizes of this summer tyre compared with the rest of the market
The Royal Black Royal A/T is a summer tyre for passenger cars, vans and light trucks. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 35 sizes (44 registrations including load and speed variants), for 15″ to 20″ rims.
Wet grip is rated B–C depending on size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 71–73 dB. 15 of 44 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 (passenger cars) is P265/70R15 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency D · 72 dB), the weakest P245/70R16 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency D · 72 dB).
On the EU market since January 2023; the earliest production week registered is 01/2023.
How it compares in its sizes
We compared each size with all other summer tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (35 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.
Strongest point: rolling noise.
What the label means on the road (265/60R18)
Example: the 265/60R18 size, compared with the 506 other summer 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
71 dB against a median of 72 dB in this size (1 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 35 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).
