Speed Rating Information

Speed ratings refer to the maximum speed you can safely drive on those tyres. Speed ratings are important as the faster you drive, the more heat that is generated. You want to be sure that your tyres are able to cope with any extra heat: if the rating is too low you risk tyre failure!
The rating of your current tyres can be found on the sidewall of the tyre: it’s the letter after the tyre size and load rating.
Speed ratings for our tyres on our website can be found by clicking additional information on each tyre’s page.
