What is the speed rating?
The speed rating is W, which corresponds to a maximum speed capability of 270 km/h (168 mph). Tyres must have a speed rating appropriate for the vehicle's capabilities.
Is this tyre suitable for use in wet conditions?
Yes, the tyre features a specialised tread pattern with grooves designed to disperse water, improving grip and reducing the risk of aquaplaning in wet weather.
What does the 'XL' marking mean?
XL stands for Extra Load. This indicates the tyre has a reinforced construction that allows it to carry heavier loads compared to a standard tyre of the same size.
What vehicles is this tyre size suitable for?
The size 245/30 R22 is typically fitted to performance SUVs, crossovers, and some larger saloons. You should always check your vehicle's handbook or existing tyre sidewall for the correct specification.
Is this an all-season tyre?

What is the tread pattern designed to achieve?
The tread pattern is designed to provide a sporty feel and excellent grip. The specialised grooves help with water evacuation for wet weather safety and contribute to stable handling and braking performance.
