Speed Rating

In general, a higher speed rating will result in better car handling.

Two important notes when considering speed rating:

  • We do not recommend downgrading the speed rating of your tyres. This may result in poor handling and unpredictable steering.
  • Never mix and match tyres with different speed ratings on your vehicle.
