Designed for passenger cars, the Hankook Winter I Cept RS3 W462 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.
It does not include rim protection, so extra care around curbs is recommended to avoid wheel damage. 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.
The tread is designed to handle mud and snow, and it’s been validated for winter conditions.
Its EU label ratings come in at C for fuel efficiency, B for wet grip, and B for rolling noise (72 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.
