How it compares in its sizes
We compared each size with all other summer tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (6 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.
All 6 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 Westlake CR960A 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.
