The Star Performer Spts AS 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.
This model skips the reinforced rim guard found on some tires, so drivers should be mindful when parking near curbs. Run-flat technology isn’t part of this model, so standard puncture precautions apply. This is a standard-build tire rather than a reinforced one, in line with typical load needs for passenger vehicles.
It’s suited to muddy and snowy surfaces and has been tested for winter performance.
On the EU tire label, it scores a E in fuel efficiency, C in wet grip, and B in rolling noise, with a measured noise level of 71 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.
