The Semperit Speed Grip 5 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.
This model skips the reinforced rim guard found on some tires, so drivers should be mindful when parking near curbs. This is not a run-flat tire, so a spare or roadside assistance plan is still worth keeping on hand. It uses standard (non-reinforced) construction, which is sufficient for typical passenger car loads.
The tread is designed to handle mud and snow, and it’s been validated for winter conditions.
Its EU label ratings come in at D for fuel efficiency, B for wet grip, and B for rolling noise (72 dB), placing it in the mid-range for road noise.
Keep in mind the EU label doesn’t capture everything — dry-road handling, aquaplaning resistance, and wear rate aren’t part of the official rating, so it’s worth weighing alongside fuel efficiency and wet grip.
