1 Answers
The speed rating of a tire indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. The representation and specific classifications of tire speed ratings are as follows: Representation of Tire Speed Ratings: It is denoted by English letters, where different letters represent different speed ratings. For example: a speed rating of W on a tire represents 270 km/h, V represents 240 km/h, H represents 210 km/h, and Y represents 300 km/h. Specific Classifications of Tire Speed Ratings: Different speed ratings also mean variations in price. For tires of the same size and specifications, those marked with W are more expensive than those marked with V, as they have a higher load capacity compared to V-rated tires.
