Designed for passenger cars, the Falken Eurowinter HS02 Pro 22545R17 94V carries a 225 mm tread width, a 45% sidewall profile, and mounts on 17-inch rims.
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. It does not offer run-flat capability, meaning a puncture will require a stop rather than continued driving. It’s built with reinforced construction, which raises its load index above a comparable standard tire — worth checking your registration if load rating matters for your vehicle.
The tread is designed to handle mud and snow, and it’s been validated for winter conditions.
On the EU tire label, it scores a D in fuel efficiency, B in wet grip, and B in rolling noise, with a measured noise level of 70 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.
