Speed Ratings

Service Description

Many tires come with a service description added on to the end of the tire's size. These service descriptions contain a two-digit number (load index) and a letter (speed rating).

A tire receives its speed rating by the U.S. Government through meeting minimum standards for reaching and sustaining a specified speed. What does that mean to you?  Well, in general, a higher speed rating will result in better car handling.

We do not recommend downgrading the speed rating of your tires. This may result in poor handling and unpredictable steering. However, if you want better cornering response, there is no problem installing a higher speed rated tire on your vehicle.

Below is a list of speed ratings along with the corresponding speeds they represent.
Remember, the speeds are test speeds, not recommended speeds and apply only to the tire, not to the vehicle. Putting a speed rated tire on any car does not mean the car can be operated at the tire's rated speed.

Q — Up to 100mph
S — Up to 112mph
T — Up to 118mph
H — Up to 130mph
V — Up to 149mph
Z — 149mph and over
W — Up to 168mph
