The “75% of same-size rivals” rows compare each tyre only with tyres of the same size, class and season, so a brand that sells mostly small or mostly large sizes gains no advantage from its size range. Because many tyres share a class, more than a quarter of all tyres reach this mark. The class A rows do not adjust for size.
