What is the difference between 102h and 102v tires?
1 Answers
The differences between 102h and 102v tires lie in speed rating, characteristics, and application scope. Speed rating: The 102h tire has a maximum speed of 210 km/h, representing a lower speed rating. The 102v tire has a maximum speed of 240 km/h, indicating a higher speed rating. Characteristics: Generally, the further back the letter representing the speed rating is in the alphabet, the better the performance. However, there are exceptions like the letter H. The H speed rating belongs to high-performance tires, while the 102v has lower performance than the H rating. Application scope: The 102h is suitable for small and compact cars. The 102v is mostly used in large luxury sedans and supercars. Precautions for car tires: Regularly check the tire pressure, generally maintaining it around 2.5 bar; when changing the size or width of tires, be sure to register with the vehicle management office, otherwise it may affect the annual inspection; it's best to rotate the front and rear tires every approximately 40,000 kilometers to balance wear; when the tire surface wears to the position of the triangle indicator, replace it promptly to prevent safety hazards; after replacing or repairing tires, perform wheel alignment and balancing to prevent abnormal vibrations at high speeds; avoid driving at high speeds over potholes to prevent tire blowouts.
