Transmate Freeze 4X4

EU tyre label for every size: 12 sizes of this 3PMSF-marked tyre compared with the rest of the market

The Transmate Freeze 4X4 is a 3PMSF-marked tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 12 sizes (12 registrations including load and speed variants), for 16″ to 20″ rims.

Wet grip is rated C–D depending on size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 71–73 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 235/55 R20 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency C · 71 dB), the weakest 255/55 R20 (Wet grip D · Fuel efficiency D · 73 dB).

On the EU market since November 2022; the earliest production week registered is 24/2024.

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 (12 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.

Weakest point: rolling noise, where most same-size rivals do as well or better.

What the label means on the road (235/55R19)

Example: the 235/55R19 size, compared with the 467 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 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

73 dB against a median of 72 dB in this size (1 dB louder).

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 12 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 Transmate Freeze 4X4 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.
