Engineered as an all-season option for everyday driving, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 22545R17 91Y measures 225 mm across with a 45% aspect ratio, fitting 17-inch wheels.
With a 91 load index (up to 615 kg / 1356 lbs) and a Y speed rating (up to 300 km/h / 186 mph), this tire falls into the C1 class, aimed at drivers looking for solid performance without a premium price tag.
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 performs on muddy and snow-covered roads and carries winter-suitability testing.
The EU label breaks down to class C for fuel efficiency, class B for wet grip, and class B for noise at 72 dB — a moderate noise footprint, not particularly loud or quiet.
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.
