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 represented by English letters, with different letters indicating 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 they vary in price. For tires of the same size and specification, a tire marked with W is certainly more expensive than one marked with V, because it has a higher load capacity than the V-rated tire.
