Tire Speed RatingsTranslate this page
A special thanks to KXAS NBC5 in Fort Worth, Texas for inspiring this and all of the Tire pages. Tire speed ratings? What is that? That is the speed rating for your tires. Not all tires are the same speed rating. There are many different speed ratings available. The speed rating denotes the maximum speed at which a tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time. The ratings range from 99 miles per hour (mph) to 186 mph. These ratings are listed below. Note: You may not find this information on all tires because it is not required by law.
*For tires with a maximum speed capability over 149 mph, tire manufacturers sometimes use the letters ZR. For those with a maximum speed capability over 186 mph, tire manufacturers always use the letters ZR. Since an Air Cooled VW does not
NORMALLY go over 100 mph, an "S" rated tire is plenty!
