| F | 80 km/h | A letter in the tyre code encodes the maximum speed of a tyre. Thereby, the table has been expanded downwards from the
earlier for 180 km/h valid letter 'S' (speed). Upwards was more difficult because the letters 'H' (High speed) were pre-defined for 210 km/h maximum and 'V' (Very High speed) for speeds of more than 210 km/h. Moreover,
the table had to be extended due to the speed increase of standard cars.
Mud-snow-tyres can not always reach these high speeds. Nevertheless, they may be mounted if an appropriate marker is placed in view of the driver. |
