Designed for passenger cars, the General Tire Altimax Winter 3 22545R17 94H carries a 225 mm tread width, a 45% sidewall profile, and mounts on 17-inch rims.
Its load index of 94 means it can handle up to 670 kg (1477 lbs) per tire, while the H speed rating allows for speeds up to 210 km/h (130 mph) — specs typical of the C1, entry-level segment.
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.
It’s suited to muddy and snowy surfaces and has been tested for winter performance.
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.
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.
