Avon ZV7 22545R17 91Y

Engineered as a summer option for everyday driving, the Avon ZV7 22545R17 91Y measures 225 mm across with a 45% aspect ratio, fitting 17-inch wheels.

Its load index of 91 means it can handle up to 615 kg (1356 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.

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. It uses standard (non-reinforced) construction, which is sufficient for typical passenger car loads.

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.
