What speed does the letter V on a tire represent?
1 Answers
The letter V on a tire represents a speed of 240 km/h. When installing tires, ensure that tires of the same specification, structure, manufacturer, and tread pattern are mounted on the same axle. Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of the tires, and do not drive at speeds higher than the maximum speed the tires can withstand. Below are some methods to extend the service life of your tires: 1. Remove debris from the tire treads using tools like a screwdriver or an awl. 2. Check the tire pressure monthly or before long trips. Proper tire pressure slows rubber aging; if the pressure is 10% above or below the standard, tire life decreases by about 4%. If the pressure is 20% above standard, tire life decreases by 25%, and if it is 20% below standard, tire life decreases by 20%. 3. Rotate the tires every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers.
