Tyre speed ratings
The chart below lists many of the dif-
ferent speed ratings currently being
used for passenger cars. The speed
rating is part of the tyre size desig-
nation on the sidewall of the tyre.This symbol corresponds to that
tyre's designed maximum safe oper-ating speed.3. Checking tyre life (TIN : Tyre Identification Number)
Any tyres that are over 6 years, based
on the manufacturing date, tyre
strength and performance, decline
with age naturally (even unused spare
tyres). Therefore, the tyres (including
the spare tyre) should be replaced by
new ones. You can find the manufac-
turing date on the tyre sidewall (possi-
bly on the inside of the wheel), dis-
playing the DOT Code. The DOT
Code is a series of numbers on a tyre
consisting of numbers and English
letters. The manufacturing date is
designated by the last four digits
(characters) of the DOT code.
DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO
The front part of the DOT means a
plant code number, tyre size and
tread pattern and the last four num-
bers indicate week and year manu-
factured.
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 1616 represents
that the tyre was produced in the
16th week of 2016.
S 180 km/h (112 mph)
T 190 km/h (118 mph)
H 210 km/h (130 mph) V 240 km/h (149 mph) Z Above 240 km/h (149 mph)

WARNING - Tyre age
Tyres degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining
tread, it is recommended that
tyres generally be replaced
after six (6) years of normal
service. Heat caused by hot cli-mates or frequent high loadingconditions can accelerate the
aging process. Failure to follow
this Warning can result in sud-
den tyre failure, which could
lead to a loss of control and an
accident involving serious
injury or death.
