Avon ZV7 22545R17 94Y

Designed for passenger cars, the Avon ZV7 22545R17 94Y carries a 225 mm tread width, a 45% sidewall profile, and mounts on 17-inch rims.

Rated at load index 94 (up to 670 kg / 1477 lbs) and speed index Y (up to 300 km/h / 186 mph), the tire sits in the budget-friendly C1 category.

No rim protection is built in here, meaning the wheel edge isn’t specifically shielded from curb contact. This is not a run-flat tire, so a spare or roadside assistance plan is still worth keeping on hand. Reinforced rubber gives this tire a higher load-bearing capacity than a standard equivalent; your vehicle’s paperwork will confirm if this is needed.

Its EU label ratings come in at D for fuel efficiency, A for wet grip, and B for rolling noise (70 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.
