New tire identifications
The European tire manufacturers have changed
their tire identification system for SR and
HR-tires pertaining to maximum permissible
speed and maximum load carrying capacity
for belted tires. The following is an example
only.
During the transition period some tires might
show both old and new identification codes,
such as: 205/55 SR 16 88 Q M+S. In this in-
stance, the new codes apply.
T h e identification codes for VR tires remain
unchanged; for example: 245/45 VR 1 6 . (V=
maximum permissible speed for radial tires,
i.e. over 1 3 0 mph or 2 1 0 km/h).
