Designed for passenger cars, the Goodyear Ultra Grip 8 Performance 22545R17 94V carries a 225 mm tread width, a 45% sidewall profile, and mounts on 17-inch rims.
It carries a load index of 94, supporting up to 670 kg (1477 lbs) per tire, and a speed rating of V, rated for sustained speeds up to 240 km/h (149 mph). This places it in the C1 category — an entry-level, budget-friendly class.
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. 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.
Its EU label ratings come in at E for fuel efficiency, C for wet grip, and A for rolling noise (68 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.
