The Nokian Snowproof 22545R17 94H brings a 225 mm width and 45% sidewall to 17-inch wheel setups, positioning it as a winter choice for passenger cars.
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.
It does not include rim protection, so extra care around curbs is recommended to avoid wheel damage. This is not a run-flat tire, so a spare or roadside assistance plan is still worth keeping on hand. 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 A for rolling noise (69 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.
