Choosing a 225/45R17 tyre
Choose the tread type for the way you drive. Performance tyres suit responsive handling, touring tyres favour everyday comfort and motorway use, and summer tyres suit drivers seeking dry-road grip. All-season options are available, but the catalogue has only three in this size.
For commuting, touring patterns such as Cinturato P7, Turanza T005 and E Primacy may be worth comparing. For a sportier feel, look at performance patterns including Ecsta PS71, Advan Sport V105 and Contisportcontact 5. Availability and exact specifications vary by product.
There are no genuine 225/45R17 all terrain tyres in the listed tread mix. This low-profile passenger-car size is generally intended for sealed roads, not rough tracks. Use the filters for brand, speed rating, tread type and stock, and check the placard before buying.
