Can 84t and 84h tires be mixed?
1 Answers
Tires with 84t and 84h ratings cannot be mixed. For safe driving, tires installed on the same axle must be of the same brand, tread pattern, specification, load index, and speed rating. When replacing tires, the specifications must comply with the vehicle manufacturer's requirements and recommendations. This means the load index of the replacement tire must be equal to or greater than that of the original tire, and the speed rating of the replacement tire must be equal to or greater than that of the original tire. The only difference between 84t and 84h tires is their speed rating, which indicates the maximum speed the tire can withstand. Specifically, an 'h' rating means the tire can withstand a maximum speed of 210 km/h, while a 't' rating means it can withstand up to 190 km/h.
