Engineered as an all-season option for everyday driving, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 22545R17 94Y measures 225 mm across with a 45% aspect ratio, fitting 17-inch wheels.
Its load index of 94 means it can handle up to 670 kg (1477 lbs) per tire, while the Y speed rating allows for speeds up to 300 km/h (186 mph) — specs typical of the C1, entry-level segment.
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’s built with reinforced construction, which raises its load index above a comparable standard tire — worth checking your registration if load rating matters for your vehicle.
It’s suited to muddy and snowy surfaces and has been tested for winter performance.
The EU label breaks down to class C for fuel efficiency, class B for wet grip, and class B for noise at 71 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.
