225/45 R17 Winter Tires – Used

The tire size 225/45 R17 is one of the most commonly used winter dimensions in the compact and mid-range classes. It is used in numerous models such as the Audi A3, BMW 1-series/3-series, Mercedes A-class/C-class, VW Golf, Skoda Octavia, Seat Leon, and many hybrid vehicles. Thanks to its balanced aspect ratio, it offers an excellent combination of winter grip, braking stability, lateral guidance, and driving comfort.

Vehicles in this category typically feature:

• medium axle loads,

• efficient or sporty suspension tunings,

• sometimes larger brake systems in S- or M-package models,

• front, rear, or all-wheel drive (Quattro, xDrive, 4Matic, AWD),

• weight-sensitive hybrid technologies.

Therefore, a thorough technical inspection of used tires in this dimension is particularly important. Reifenshop Landshut ensures that each model offers perfect residual tread, active sipes, an intact casing, stable roundness, and an OEM-compliant rolling circumference.
