Tires and wheels

To determine the maximum speed
capability of the tire, the service
description for the tire must be referred to.
The service description is comprised of tire
load rating
5
and tire speed rating
6
.
If your tire includes “ZR” in the size
designation and no service description is
given, the tire manufacturer must be
consulted for the maximum speed
capability.
If a service description is given, the speed
capability is limited by the speed symbol in
the service description. Example:
245/40 ZR18 97Y. In this example, “97Y”
is the service description. The letter “Y”
designates the speed rating and the speed
capability of the tire is limited to 186 mph
(300 km/h).
R
Any tire with a speed capability above
186 mph (300 km/h) must include a “ZR”
in the size designation AND the service
description must be placed in parenthesis.
Example: 275/40 ZR 18 (99Y). The “(Y)”
speed rating in parenthesis designates the
maximum speed capability of the tire as
being above 186 mph (300 km/h). Consult
the tire manufacturer for the actual
maximum permissible speed of the tire.

Not all M+S rated tires provide special
winter performance. Make sure the tires
you use show M+S and the mountain/

marking on the tire
sidewall. These tires meet specific snow
traction performance requirements of the
Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA)
and have been designed specifically for use
in snow conditions.
An electronic speed limiter prevents your
vehicle from exceeding a speed of 200 mph
(320 km/h).
Make sure your tires have the required tire
speed rating as specified for your vehicle in
the “Technical data” section (
for example when purchasing new tires.
