Minimum permitted load index and speed rating for tyres
All tyres have specific speed and load limitations. Tyres must have a speed rating and load index that are equal to or higher than your car's maximum speed.
Your tyre's specification must be at least equal to or greater than:
| Minimum permitted load index (LI), front | 106 |
| Minimum permitted load index (LI), rear | 108 |
| Minimum permitted speed rating (SS) | H |
Warning
If a tyre with a speed rating that is too low is used, it may overheat and become damaged.
Note
Winter tyres
Winter tyres1 are allowed to have a lower speed rating than your car's top speed. However, if your winter tyres do have a lower speed rating than your car's top speed, you are not allowed to drive faster than the tyres' speed rating.
