Yartu Z-401 XL

EU tyre label for every size: 20 sizes of this 3PMSF-marked tyre compared with the rest of the market

The Yartu Z-401 XL is a 3PMSF-marked tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 20 sizes (20 registrations including load and speed variants), for 16″ to 18″ rims.

Wet grip is rated C in every size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 72 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 205/60 R16 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency C · 72 dB), the weakest 225/40 R18 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency D · 72 dB).

On the EU market since March 2021; the earliest production week registered is 34/2020.

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

What the label means on the road (205/60R16)

Example: the 205/60R16 size, compared with the 760 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 C, the most common class in this size: no difference to the typical tyre.

Rolling noise

72 dB against a median of 72 dB in this size.

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 20 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 Yartu Z-401 XL 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.
