What is the tire speed rating?
1 Answers
Tire speed rating indicates the maximum speed at which a tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. The representation method and specific classifications of tire speed ratings are as follows: Tire speed rating representation method: It is denoted by English letters, with different letters representing different speed ratings. For example: A speed rating of W on a tire represents 270KM/h, V represents 240KM/h, H represents 210KM/h, and Y represents 300KM/h. Specific classifications of tire speed ratings: Different speed ratings also mean differences in price. For tires of the same size and specifications, a tire marked with W is certainly more expensive than one marked with V, because its load capacity is stronger than that of a V-rated tire.
