You may not be able to drive your 240D over 87 MPH, but tire speed rating translates directly to sidewall design which affects handling, safety and tire life. Read my other posts - speed rating affects more than just top speed. Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.kegkits.com 256-656-1924 -Original

Re: [MBZ] speaking of speed ratings

2009-03-15 Thread Tom Hargrave
You will find a number / letter combo molded into the sidewall. The number represents the load rating and the letter the speed rating. For example: 91H would be 91 load rating & H the speed rating. 91S would be 91 load rating & S the speed rating. Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.kegkits.com
