Engineered as an all-season option for everyday driving, the Nankang Cross Seasons AW 6 22545R17 94W 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 W speed rating allows for speeds up to 270 km/h (168 mph) — specs typical of the C1, entry-level segment.
It does not include rim protection, so extra care around curbs is recommended to avoid wheel damage. This is not a run-flat tire, so a spare or roadside assistance plan is still worth keeping on hand. The construction is reinforced for higher load capacity — check your vehicle registration documents to see if this is required for your car.
It’s suited to muddy and snowy surfaces and has been tested for winter performance.
On the EU tire label, it scores a C 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.
