Extended information about the tire load index and speed rating: Load Index: The vehicle load must not exceed the maximum load capacity of the tire. The load index and maximum load capacity of each tire are molded on the sidewall. For example: In the tire specification 195/65R15 106V, the load index is 106, which corresponds to a maximum load capacity of 950kg. Overloaded tires will accumulate excessive heat and may lead to sudden failure. Therefore, it is necessary to follow the load requirements of the vehicle manufacturer to ensure the tires are not overloaded. Speed Rating: The driving speed must not exceed the maximum speed of the tire. The speed rating of each tire is molded on the sidewall. By referring to the speed rating, you can determine the maximum speed of the tire. For example: In the tire specification 195/65R15 106V, the speed symbol is V. By checking the speed symbol and speed correspondence table, you can find that the maximum speed of this tire is 240km/h.
