What speed does the V on car tires represent?
1 Answers
Tire speed rating V indicates a maximum speed of 240Km/h. The tire speed rating shows the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Classification of tire speed ratings: According to different load-bearing speeds, tire speed ratings can be divided into 24 different grades from A to Z (excluding I and O grades), with grade A further subdivided into 8 different grades from A1 to A8. In daily life, the most common speed ratings for tires range from Q (160km/h) to Y (300km/h). In recent regulations for standardizing tire markings, all grades except the continuously variable Z speed rating include both speed symbols and load indexes in their specifications. Tire maintenance methods: Regularly check tire pressure; Remove debris from tire treads; Inspect tire wear and replace tires promptly based on wear conditions; Perform tire rotation - rotation ensures even force distribution across all four tires and prevents excessive wear.
