What are Speed Ratings?

It can be very important that you are aware of the speed rating you need, particularly if you have a performance car or require performance tyres.

Check with your insurance company if your car needs to have tyres with a minimum or particular speed rating.

A tyre's speed rating indicates the maximum speed at which a tyre can be used safely. Adhering to UK speed limits will mean that in theory any current speed rating can be used, however it's best to consult with your insurance company first in case there are any policy stipulations relating to your car.

The following table shows the ratings and maximum speeds:
