What does 95Y tire mean?

[VanAliyah]

95 is the load index of the tire, with a maximum load capacity of 690KG per tire corresponding to 95. Y represents the speed rating of the tire, indicating the maximum speed at which the tire can carry the specified load under defined conditions, with Y having a top speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Here is additional information: 1. Function: The tire is one of the most important components of a vehicle, primarily supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load; transmitting traction and braking torque, ensuring the adhesion between the wheel and the road surface; reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and early damage to vehicle components, adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reducing driving noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency. 2. Composition: Tires are usually composed of three parts: the outer tire, the inner tube, and the flap. Some do not require an inner tube, featuring an inner layer with a highly airtight rubber layer and requiring specialized rims. Tire structures worldwide are evolving towards tubeless, radial, flat (with a small ratio of tire section height to width), and lightweight designs.
