The Westlake SW608 22545R17 94H 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.
Its load index of 94 means it can handle up to 670 kg (1477 lbs) per tire, while the H speed rating allows for speeds up to 210 km/h (130 mph) — specs typical of the C1, entry-level segment.
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. It uses standard (non-reinforced) construction, which is sufficient for typical passenger car loads.
The tread is designed to handle mud and snow, and it’s been validated for winter conditions.
The EU label breaks down to class C for fuel efficiency, class C for wet grip, and class B for noise at 72 dB — a moderate noise footprint, not particularly loud or quiet.
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.
