Engineered as a summer option for everyday driving, the Apollo Aspire 4G 22545R17 94Y measures 225 mm across with a 45% aspect ratio, fitting 17-inch wheels.
With a 94 load index (up to 670 kg / 1477 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.
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.
On the EU tire label, it scores a D in fuel efficiency, C in wet grip, and B in rolling noise, with a measured noise level of 72 dB — neither notably quiet nor loud.
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.
