What Does H Mean on a Tire?
1 Answers
Tire H represents the speed rating of the tire. Each tire has its speed symbol (also known as speed rating) molded on the sidewall. By referring to the speed symbol, you can determine the maximum speed capability of the tire. For example, in the tire specification 195/65R15 91H, the speed symbol is H. Checking the speed symbol and speed correspondence table reveals that this tire has a maximum speed of 210 kilometers per hour. Automotive tires are one of the crucial components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working together with the vehicle's suspension to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth operation. They also maintain excellent traction between the wheels and the road surface, enhancing the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road performance. Tire tread patterns can be categorized into rib patterns, transverse patterns, mixed patterns, and off-road patterns.
