Toyo Snowprox S943

EU tyre label for every size: 35 sizes of this winter tyre compared with the rest of the market

The Toyo Snowprox S943 is a winter tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 35 sizes (57 registrations including load and speed variants), for 14″ to 17″ rims.

Wet grip is rated C in every size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 70 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 165/70 R14 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency C · 70 dB), the weakest 225/45 R17 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency D · 70 dB).

On the EU market since May 2013; the earliest production week registered is 17/2013.

What the label means on the road (205/55 R16)

Example: the 205/55 R16 size, compared with the 839 other winter and 3PMSF 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

70 dB against a median of 72 dB in this size (2 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).
