Designed for passenger cars, the Hankook Winter I Cept RS2 W452 22545R17 94H carries a 225 mm tread width, a 45% sidewall profile, and mounts on 17-inch rims.
Rated at load index 94 (up to 670 kg / 1477 lbs) and speed index H (up to 210 km/h / 130 mph), the tire sits in the budget-friendly C1 category.
This model skips the reinforced rim guard found on some tires, so drivers should be mindful when parking near curbs. This is not a run-flat tire, so a spare or roadside assistance plan is still worth keeping on hand. 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.
The EU label breaks down to class D for fuel efficiency, class B for wet grip, and class B for noise at 72 dB — a moderate noise footprint, not particularly loud or quiet.
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.
