Amateur Tyre Question: Where do I find Load and Speed Rating?

Smedders11

Hi,

I'm looking at buying some new tyres and the comparison sites ask for load and speed rating (91V, for example), but I only have the width, ratio, and diameter on all four of my tyres.

It's a 2011 Peugeot 308 1.6 HDI entry spec, if that's needed. The information I do have is 195/65R/15.

Anyone able to instruct me on how to proceed without putting myself in a potentially dangerous situation?

Thanks

In addition, the tyres bought up online have an addition letter in the profile. For example: 195/65HR15

Does that matter?

Look more closely around the tyre wall, the load and speed rating will be there.

What make of tyres are they?

I was just about to close this thread. Turns out the information was only on one half of the tyre, and as luck would have it it was the half that was upside down each time. It's 91H

Thanks anyway. Told you I was an amateur!

Amateur or not, you're miles better than many who think they are just four round rubber things and any rubber things that fits and holds air will do.
You want the correct spec and quite right.

Remember when searching that you can up in spec ie 95V for example, but best not go lower ie 88T...whether those specs exist i don't know but you probably get the drift..:)

Thats a lovely size tyres by the way for availability price comfort and kerb protection, and i picked up four Vredestein Sportrac 5's, V speed rated for a family members car last week for £146 all incl via Tyreleader.
