Designed for passenger cars, the Nankang Ice Activa Ice 1 22545R17 94Q 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 Q (up to 160 km/h / 99 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. 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.
It’s suited to muddy and snowy surfaces and has been tested for winter performance.
The EU label breaks down to class E for fuel efficiency, class E for wet grip, and class B for noise at 72 dB — a moderate noise footprint, not particularly loud or quiet.
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.
