The "h" or "v" rating is the speed rating on the tire.. the later in the alphabet the higher the speed rating.. h rated tires are the lowest rated and are not reccomended for high speed driving... Z rated tires are the highest rated and are reccomended for prolonged high speed driving .. think autobahn. ---------------- Beginning in 1991, the speed symbol denoting a fixed maximum speed capability of new tires must be shown only in the speed rating portion of the tire's service description, such as 225/50R16 89S. The most common tire speed rating symbols, maximum speeds and typical applications are shown below: ---------------- M - 81 mph - 130 km/h ---------------- N - 87 mph - 140km/h --- Temporary Spare Tires ---------------- P - 93 mph - 150 km/h ---------------- Q - 99 mph - 160 km/h --- Studless & Studdable Winter Tires ---------------- R - 106 mph - 170 km/h --- H.D. Light Truck Tires ---------------- S - 112 mph - 180 km/h --- Family Sedans & Vans ---------------- T - 118 mph - 190 km/h --- Family Sedans & Vans ---------------- U - 124 mph - 200 km/h ---------------- H - 130 mph - 210 km/h --- Sport Sedans & Coupes ---------------- V - 149 mph - 240 km/h --- Sport Sedans, Coupes & Sports Cars ---------------- When Z-speed rated tires were first introduced, they were thought to reflect the highest tire speed rating that would ever be required, in excess of 240 km/h or 149 mph. While Z-speed rated tires are capable of speeds in excess of 149 mph, how far above 149 mph was not identified. That ultimately caused the automotive industry to add W- and Y-speed ratings to identify the tires that meet the needs of new vehicles that have extremely high top-speed capabilities. ---------------- W - 168 mph - 270 km/h --- Exotic Sports Cars ---------------- Y - 186 mph - 300 km/h --- Exotic Sports Cars ----------------
H speed rating is 130 mph maximum.
The H is the speed rating. The H rating means the tire has a speed rating of up to 130 mph. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=35
It is the maximum speed your tire is made for. It is indicated by the last letter on the tire designation. - eg, 215 65 R15 95 H - the H is speed rating.
That is the speed rating of the tire. H is rated up to 130 mph.
A z rating on a tire is a speed rating, for most u.s. roads an h rated tire is fine, check with local tire dealer
A ''Z'' tire means that the top speed rating of the tire is not designated, and you must consult the manufacturer to obtain the rating. A ''W (ZR)'' tire's top speed rating is 270 km/h or 168MPH. A ''Y (ZR)'' tire's top speed rating is 300 km/h or 186 MPH. A ''ZR'' tire is rated at top speed of 300 km/h or 186 MPH, AND ABOVE. No, ''Z'' tires, and ''ZR'' tires are not the same.
It's a speed rating, in this case meaning 'up to 130 mph'.
The 99 is the load rating and the H is the speed rating. The higher the load number the more weight the tire can carry. The speed number H means it is rated to 130 mph.
A "T" speed rating means the tire was tested to withstand at least a constant 118 mph....... An "H" rating 130.
Tread is 195 mm wide. Sidewall is 60 percent of 195 mm tall. R is radial tire. 15 inch rim. H speed rating.
The 94 or 95 at the end of your tire designation is the 'Load Rating' -in this case, 670 Kg and 690 Kg per tire. - The 'H' and 'T' are 'speed rating', usable to 130mph and 118 mph
