Engineered as an all-season option for everyday driving, the Falken AS 200 22545R17 94V 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 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.
This model skips the reinforced rim guard found on some tires, so drivers should be mindful when parking near curbs. It does not offer run-flat capability, meaning a puncture will require a stop rather than continued driving. 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.
Its EU label ratings come in at F for fuel efficiency, C for wet grip, and A for rolling noise (69 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.
