Designed for passenger cars, the Nokian Snowproof 22545R17 91H carries a 225 mm tread width, a 45% sidewall profile, and mounts on 17-inch rims.
Rated at load index 91 (up to 615 kg / 1356 lbs) and speed index H (up to 210 km/h / 130 mph), the tire sits in the budget-friendly C1 category.
No rim protection is built in here, meaning the wheel edge isn’t specifically shielded from curb contact. It does not offer run-flat capability, meaning a puncture will require a stop rather than continued driving. It uses standard (non-reinforced) construction, which is sufficient for typical passenger car loads.
It performs on muddy and snow-covered roads and carries winter-suitability testing.
On the EU tire label, it scores a C in fuel efficiency, B in wet grip, and a in rolling noise, with a measured noise level of 69 dB — neither notably quiet nor loud.
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.
