In any case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by the legal limits and driving conditions. SPEED RATINGS Speed Symbols are shown on the sidewall of some tires. The following table shows the maximum speed corresponding to the symbol. *Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed capacity greater than 149 mph (240 km/h). Consult your tire retailer for maximum speed rating if your vehicle capability exceeds this speed. **Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed to use on cars with maximum speed capabilities in excess of 149 mph (240 km/h). (W and Y speed ratings are subcategories of Z). Consult your tire retailer for maximum speed capabilities. Although a tire may be speed-rated, we do not endorse the operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner. Speed ratings are based on laboratory tests which relate to performance on the road, but are not applicable if tires are underinflated, overloaded, worn out, damaged, altered, improperly repaired, or retreaded. Furthermore, a tire's speed rating does not imply that vehicles can be safely driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is rated, particularly under adverse road and weather conditions or if the vehicle has unusual characteristics. Highway passenger tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall have a maximum speed rating of 105 mph (170 kph). Light truck highway tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall of the tire have a maximum speed rating of 87 mph (140 kph) The speed and other ratings of retreaded tires are assigned by the retreader and replace the original manufacturer's ratings. IMPORTANT: In order to maintain the speed capability of the vehicle, replacement tires must have speed ratings equal to or higher than those fitted as original equipment (as indicated on the vehicle tire placard or owner's manual). If tires with lower speed ratings are fitted, the vehicle?s handling may be affected and the speed capability of the vehicle will be lowered to the maximum speed capability of the replacement tires as indicated in the table below. REMEMBER...High speed driving can be dangerous and may damage your tires. AND...When driving at highway speeds, correct inflation pressure is especially important. 31

SPEED RATINGS
Speed Symbols are shown on the sidewall of some tires. The following table
shows the maximum speed corresponding to the symbol.
*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed capacity greater than 149 mph
(240 km/h). Consult your tire retailer for maximum speed rating if your vehicle
capability exceeds this speed.
**Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed to use on cars with maximum speed capa-
bilities in excess of 149 mph (240 km/h). (W and Y speed ratings are sub-
categories of Z).
Consult your tire retailer for maximum speed capabilities.
Although a tire may be speed-rated, we do not endorse the operation of any ve-
hicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner. Speed ratings are based on laboratory
tests which relate to performance on the road, but are not applicable if tires are
underinflated, overloaded, worn out, damaged, altered, improperly repaired, or
retreaded. Furthermore, a tire’s speed rating does not imply that vehicles can be
safely driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is rated, particularly un-
der adverse road and weather conditions or if the vehicle has unusual character-
istics.
Highway passenger tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall have a
maximum speed rating of 105 mph (170 kph). Light truck highway tires that do
not have a speed symbol on the sidewall of the tire have a maximum speed rat-
ing of 87 mph (140 kph)
The speed and other ratings of retreaded tires are assigned by the retreader and
replace the original manufacturer’s ratings.
IMPORTANT:
In order to maintain the speed capability of the vehicle, replace-
ment tires must have speed ratings equal to or higher than those fitted as origi-
nal equipment (as indicated on the vehicle tire placard or owner’s manual). If
tires with lower speed ratings are fitted, the vehicle?s handling may be affected
and the speed capability of the vehicle will be lowered to the maximum speed
capability of the replacement tires as indicated in the table below.
REMEMBER...
High speed driving can be dangerous and may damage your
tires.
AND...
When driving at highway speeds, correct inflation pressure is espe-
cially important.
