The Uniroyal WinterExpert 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.
Rated at load index 94 (up to 670 kg / 1477 lbs) and speed index V (up to 240 km/h / 149 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. 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.
Its EU label ratings come in at C for fuel efficiency, B for wet grip, and B for rolling noise (72 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.
