Description

A high-performance tyre size designed for premium sports cars, performance SUVs, and luxury vehicles. The 225/45R17 configuration features a moderately wide tread (225mm) with a low-profile sidewall (45%) on a 17-inch rim, delivering excellent cornering grip and responsive handling precision. The R rating indicates standard radial construction, though this sporty size is typically paired with higher speed ratings for performance applications. This site provides solid road contact, impressive stability during spirited driving, and immediate steering response. Commonly found on sports sedans, performance coupes, and sporty variants of premium vehicles, this tyre size offers an appealing combination of performance capabilities and athletic styling. It is ideal for enthusiast drivers seeking enhanced grip, handling dynamics, and a sporty stance for their performance vehicle. However, the low profile may result in a slightly firmer ride quality compared to higher-profile alternatives.
