Three-A Light Truck Tyre

EU tyre label for every size: 30 sizes of this summer tyre compared with the rest of the market

The Three-A Light Truck Tyre is a summer tyre for vans and light trucks. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 30 sizes (32 registrations including load and speed variants), for 6″ to 17″ rims.

Wet grip is rated C–D depending on size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 71–73 dB.

The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 185R14C 8PR (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency C · 71 dB), the weakest 185/75 R16C (Wet grip D · Fuel efficiency D · 71 dB).
