Engineered as a winter option for everyday driving, the Semperit Speed Grip 5 22545R17 94V measures 225 mm across with a 45% aspect ratio, fitting 17-inch wheels.
Its load index of 94 means it can handle up to 670 kg (1477 lbs) per tire, while the V speed rating allows for speeds up to 240 km/h (149 mph) — specs typical of the C1, entry-level segment.
No rim protection is built in here, meaning the wheel edge isn’t specifically shielded from curb contact. 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.
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 B in rolling noise, with a measured noise level of 72 dB — neither notably quiet nor loud.
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.
