Wheels and tyres
94 Tyre load index
W Speed rating for maximum permitted
speed (in this case 270 km/h).
Speed ratings
The car is approved as a whole, which means
that dimensions and speed ratings must not
differ from those specified on the car's regis-
tration document.
The only exception to these conditions is win-
ter tyres (both those with metal studs and those
without). If such a tyre is chosen, the car must
not be driven faster than the speed rating of the
tyre. (For example, class Q can be driven at a
maximum of 160 km/h).
Traffic regulations determine how fast a car
can be driven, not the speed rating of the tyres.
06
Q 160 km/h (used only on winter tyres)
T 190 km/h
254
H 210 km/h
V 240 km/h
W 270 km/h
Y 300 km/h
NOTE
It is the maximum permitted speed that is
stated in the table.
Tyre pressure
The tyre pressure decal on the driver's side
door pillar (between front and rear door) shows
which pressures the tyres should have at dif-
ferent loads and speed conditions, this is also
specified in the tyre pressure table, see below.
•
Tyre pressure for the car's recommended
wheel dimension
•
ECO pressure
•
Spare wheel pressure (Temporary Spare)
NOTE
Temperature differences change tyre pres-
sure.
