Tyres >Help >Tyres Help > Can you mix speed ratings on tyres?
No, it is not recommended that you fit tyres with a mixture of tyre speed ratings. Every tyre has been tested and assigned a specific speed rating. This is a big factor in how the tyre performance. So it is important that you keep the speed rating of your tyres consistent on all four wheels. If you mix different speed ratings across the vehicles you can negatively affect your vehicle's handling, stability, and overall safety.
Can you put lower speed rating tyres on a car?
No, we would not recommend that you fit a tyre with a lower speed rating. Tyres with a lower speed rating are not designed to withstand the heat and pressure generated at higher speeds.
Can you put higher speed rating tyres on a car?
Yes, you can fit a tyre onto your vehicle with a higher speed. Make sure the rest of the tyre is compatible with your vehicle's specifications - i.e. the tyre size and category of tyre. It is best to speak with a professional tyre fitter or manufacturer to determine the appropriate size and rating for your car. However, fitting higher speed rating tyres may result in a stiffer and less comfortable ride.
