The Austone SP 401 22545R17 94V is an all-season tire built for passenger vehicles, with a section width of 225 mm, an aspect ratio of 45%, and a fit for 17-inch wheels.
With a 94 load index (up to 670 kg / 1477 lbs) and a V speed rating (up to 240 km/h / 149 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. 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.
It’s suited to muddy and snowy surfaces and has been tested for winter performance.
Its EU label ratings come in at E for fuel efficiency, C for wet grip, and B for rolling noise (72 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.
