225/45 R19 EU tyre label data

EU label values are declared for each individual size, so the figures here are exact for 225/45 R19 rather than a range across a model. 375 tyres carry label data in this size. The most common load index is 96 (up to 710 kg per tyre). Speed ratings on offer: (Y) (301 km/h), Y (300 km/h), W (270 km/h), V (240 km/h), H (210 km/h), T (190 km/h), S (180 km/h), Q (160 km/h). 171 tyres in this size carry the 3PMSF severe snow marking.

A Best wet grip

101 tyres in this size hold the top EU wet grip rating, class A. The highest scoring on Tyre Reviews:

A Lowest rolling resistance

The most fuel efficient choice: 16 tyres in this size reach rolling resistance class A. The highest scoring on Tyre Reviews:

67dB Quietest tyres

The quietest 225/45 R19 tyres are labelled at 67 dB external noise:

Label values come from the EU EPREL database and apply to the EU market versions of each tyre. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict - the tests and owner ratings above tell you far more.

How long do 225/45 R19 tyres last?

Across 43 end of life reviews in this size, a typical set of tyres was worn out after 19,000 miles. Half of all worn-out sets lasted between 6,000 miles and 25,000 miles.

Distances are self-reported by drivers whose review marked the set as worn out; figures are medians, so a single unusual report cannot move them. Driving style and the car matter more than the size itself.

What does 225/45 R19 mean?

A 225/45 R19 tyre is 225 mm wide, its sidewall is 45% of that width (101 mm) tall, and it fits a 19 inch wheel. That gives an overall diameter of roughly 685 mm.

Yokohama ADVAN APEX V601 225/45 R19 Mazda 121 25,000 miles October 19, 2026

It is NOT a comfortable tyre, noisy when miles increase, wet grip is good

Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS 225/45 R19 Mazda 6 25,000 miles October 8, 2026

Very good overall, never was incomfident. Very good wet grip&aquaplanning resistance. Drove this tyres for 35000km on my Mazda 6 2015. Respectable value and treadwear: remaining 4.5mm

Wanli EraComfort e01 225/45 R19 Lynk & Co lynk&co 06 1,000 miles September 29, 2026

The Wanli E01 tire was launched in 2025, and a minor redesign was introduced in 2026 to enhance its wear resistance. Therefore, I purchased it at the recommended retail price through the brand's official sales channel. It may have some manufacturer-related issues or be the original XL structure model, not the upgraded HL structure version.
I switched the Dunlop RS to the rear wheels and the Wanli E01 to the front wheels. My car is a Lynk & Co 06 with front-wheel drive. I've driven it for nearly 1,000 kilometers, mostly for high-speed inter-city commuting. Overall, the noise insulation is better than that of the Michelin Hoya 5 and Yokohama V553 I've used before. This might be due to the sound-absorbing cotton technology. The steering feel of these tires is very comfortable, with moderate pressure and linearity. The steering feels much more natural and even compared to the Hoya 5.
In terms of grip, it is slightly weaker than the Michelin Hymet 5 and V553 on dry roads, but the difference is not significant. On wet roads, there is no discernible difference. It exhibits a bit more delay in acceleration and braking response compared to the other two. However, its lateral grip performance in corners is excellent and more composed.
In terms of vibration damping performance, it is not as soft as Michelin tires, nor as hard and rigid as the V553. It has a certain degree of elasticity and provides overall comfort.
Overall, as a low-rolling-resistance EV tire, I think it can also be used in gasoline-powered cars, offering excellent comfort. It's a great companion for long-distance travel, but it's not suitable for aggressive driving, since its very name indicates it is oriented toward comfort and energy efficiency.

Continental AllSeasonContact 2 225/45 R19 Skoda Karoq 2.0TSI 4x4 Sportline 10,000 miles September 21, 2026

As previously stated, these tyres are far more comfortable than the previous Bridgestone summer tyres. However their softer sidewalls seem to have a major drawback! Over the past two years I have had to replace the nearside tyres four times because of delamination or sidewall punctures, due to pothole damage. I have never had this problem on previous tyres, and although I realise there are far more potholes around now I am not at all confident that they are suitable for British roads.

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 225/45 R19 Nissan Juke 25,000 miles September 20, 2026

I have driven nearly 40,000 km on my Nissan Juke F16 with 225/45 R19 tyres, and I still feel confident when taking corners. I prefer a sporty driving style, but cornering quickly in an SUV is not always easy. However, the SF3 tyres make it easier and safer, especially in dry conditions, thanks to their excellent grip.

I have also driven in heavy rain and have always felt safe on wet roads. I have never experienced any tyre slipping in the rain. I have not experienced snowy conditions yet, but the SF3 tyres still perform well in temperatures below zero, just as they do in normal temperatures.

After 40,000 km, the tyres have started to show some wear, which is normal at this mileage. I am a little more cautious when taking corners now, but I am still satisfied with the tyres’ performance.

Comfort is slightly limited with 225/45 R19 tyres, although this is more related to the Nissan Juke itself. The suspension is neither soft nor hard—it is somewhere in between. With 19-inch low-profile tyres, potholes and other road imperfections can sometimes reduce comfort.

Overall, the SF3 is the best all-season tyre I have ever used.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 225/45 R19 Mazda 6 Wagon 22,000 miles September 17, 2026

I have had these tires for 4 years, it will be 5 years starting next summer season here in Central Europe. Driven about 35000 kms on them, as they are exchanged for winter tires around November each year, and then installed back around March. I've been very happy with them, they are seriously good tires - great grip, great handling - at least for the first 2-3 years. Lately, in their 4th year, I start to feel they're not that confident anymore in edge cases (e.g. fast and sharp turn onto a highway). Comfort and noise was average I guess - I have them on 19" wheels on Mazda 6, with quite narrow sidewalls (45), so it's definitely noticeably harder when switching from 225/55/17s after winter. In the first two years, I thought they wore out quite fast, but maybe it slowed down a bit over time; now I think they would still last their 5th year, which is when I would exchange them anyway due to age. Overall a very good tire.

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 ev 225/45 R19 Tesla Model Y rwd 24,000 miles August 25, 2026

I had these tyres stock on a brand new Model Y RWD Standard Range.
Duration: 38k km until they reach more or less 2,5mm on all 4, I switch them since I live in a rainy place, and I wanted to be safe

Comfort: Very good for a EV Tyre that's hard, they are quiet, much more quiet than the SC7 T0 that I'm running now

Handling: Not that good, average at best, not sure if it was due to running them at 2.9/3.0 bars but the Contis are so much better, I didn't like to push them at all, they were mostly a touring tyre on my view. A hard sidewall, but they didn't respond well to steering inputs.

Braking: Good in both wet and dry

Aquaplanning: Good until they reach 4mm, then the middle grooves on the middle channels disappear and they switch to being not that good, average, at best.
Nothing scary, but whenever it rained a lot I had the feeling that I should switch them ASAP.

Energy Consumption: Very good, I think I average 15,5Kwh/100km during the time that I had them

PS: One thing that I noticed is that they start to be a bit more wore on the inside, which is totally normal for Teslas as I know, but the strange thing is that the same is not happening to the SC7 now with almost 20k km
