Tigar Winter 1
EU tyre label for every size: 14 sizes of this winter tyre compared with the rest of the market
The Tigar Winter 1 is a winter tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 14 sizes (14 registrations including load and speed variants), for 13″ to 14″ rims.
Wet grip is rated D in every size, fuel efficiency D–E and external rolling noise 68 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 175/80 R14 (Wet grip D · Fuel efficiency D · 68 dB), the weakest 185/70 R14 (Wet grip D · Fuel efficiency E · 68 dB).
On the EU market since January 2007; the earliest production week registered is 20/2006.
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 (14 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. Weakest point: wet grip, where most same-size rivals do as well or better.
What the label means on the road (175/65R14)
Example: the 175/65R14 size, compared with the 645 other winter and 3PMSF tyres registered in this size.
Wet braking from 80 km/h
≈47 m with class D, against ≈41 m for the most common class in this size (C).
Fuel efficiency
Class E vs the typical D: ≈0.16 L/100 km more, about 24 litres more over 15,000 km for a 1,500 kg car.
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 14 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 Tigar Winter 1 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.
