Speed Rating

- The speed rating denotes the 

speed at which a tire is designed to be driven for 

extended periods of time.  

This does not indicate 

that the vehicle or rims can safely reach or 

maintain that speed.

  These ratings are listed below.  

(The markings on the example tire diagram show M.   

The markings on your tire may differ.) 

Note: You may not find this information on 

all tires because it is not required by law.

Tire ply composition and Materials Used

-  

The number of plies indicates the number of layers of 

rubber-coated fabric in the tire.  

In general, the greater the number of plies, the more 

weight a tire can support.  Tire manufacturers 

also must indicate the materials in the tire, which 

include steel, nylon, polyester, and others.

• 

Maximum permissible Inflation pressure

This number is the greatest amount of air 

pressure that should ever be put in the 

tire under normal driving conditions.
