Fabiaman 1st Gear May 22, 2002 Share May 22, 2002 Does anyone read much into the speed rating ... ie that alphabet.....H, Z or whatever? It gives the top speed of the tyre isn't it? So if u cheong the NS frequently like Guyver does, then the alphabet is impt? But no one seems to be bothered by this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous last words........"I think I'll save money on a H-rated tyre as I never go above 200 anyway." Me - V-rated and above only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie May 23, 2002 Author Share May 23, 2002 Z rating safest, for speeds >240km/h so "technically" limitless! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magfocus 5th Gear May 23, 2002 Share May 23, 2002 Z rating safest, for speeds >240km/h so "technically" limitless! No wonder all the supercars have to use them... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Neutral Newbie May 23, 2002 Share May 23, 2002 Mine's H too....maybe, should downgrade if tyre shops sell smaller alphabet tyres...probably much cheaper since we don't 'fly' with our cars in singapore.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyver 1st Gear May 26, 2002 Share May 26, 2002 Z rating safest, for speeds >240km/h so "technically" limitless! But why is Z rating the safest? what's the difference? how much more in terms of $$? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie May 26, 2002 Author Share May 26, 2002 Z rated tires can go up to the fastest production road car's top speed so safest in term of high speed ability. Price may be slightly higher but most high performance tires only come in Z rating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
