The Nokian Snowproof P 22545R17 94V is a winter tire built for passenger vehicles, with a section width of 225 mm, an aspect ratio of 45%, and a fit for 17-inch wheels.
It carries a load index of 94, supporting up to 670 kg (1477 lbs) per tire, and a speed rating of V, rated for sustained speeds up to 240 km/h (149 mph). This places it in the C1 category — an entry-level, budget-friendly class.
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.
The EU label breaks down to class B for fuel efficiency, class B for wet grip, and class B for noise at 70 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.
