The Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 22545R17 91H is a winter tire built for passenger vehicles, with a section width of 225 mm, an aspect ratio of 45%, and a fit for 17-inch wheels.
It carries a load index of 91, supporting up to 615 kg (1356 lbs) per tire, and a speed rating of H, rated for sustained speeds up to 210 km/h (130 mph). This places it in the C1 category — an entry-level, budget-friendly class.
It does not include rim protection, so extra care around curbs is recommended to avoid wheel damage. Run-flat technology isn’t part of this model, so standard puncture precautions apply. This is a standard-build tire rather than a reinforced one, in line with typical load needs for passenger vehicles.
It’s suited to muddy and snowy surfaces and has been tested for winter performance.
On the EU tire label, it scores a D in fuel efficiency, B in wet grip, and B in rolling noise, with a measured noise level of 72 dB — neither notably quiet nor loud.
As useful as the EU label is, it doesn’t cover every factor — things like dry-weather grip, aquaplaning resistance, and tread wear fall outside the official scoring.
