Engineered as a winter option for everyday driving, the Nexen Winguard Sport 2 WU7 22545R17 94H measures 225 mm across with a 45% aspect ratio, fitting 17-inch wheels.
With a 94 load index (up to 670 kg / 1477 lbs) and a H speed rating (up to 210 km/h / 130 mph), this tire falls into the C1 class, aimed at drivers looking for solid performance without a premium price tag.
It does not include rim protection, so extra care around curbs is recommended to avoid wheel damage. Run-flat technology isn’t part of this model, so standard puncture precautions apply. The construction is reinforced for higher load capacity — check your vehicle registration documents to see if this is required for your car.
The tread is designed to handle mud and snow, and it’s been validated for winter conditions.
The EU label breaks down to class D for fuel efficiency, class B for wet grip, and class A for noise at 69 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.
