EU tyre label for every size: 10 sizes of this summer tyre compared with the rest of the market
The Yokohama 104ZR is a summer tyre for trucks and buses. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 10 sizes (11 registrations including load and speed variants), for 19.5″ to 22.5″ rims.
Wet grip is rated B–C depending on size, fuel efficiency C–D and external rolling noise 70–73 dB.
The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 10R22.5 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency C · 70 dB), the weakest 245/70 R19.5 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency D · 73 dB).
On the EU market since November 2008; the earliest production week registered is 45/2008.
How it compares in its sizes
We compared each size with all other summer tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (10 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.
Strongest point: fuel efficiency.
All 10 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).
