SPEED RATINGS

Here is a list of speed ratings along with the speeds they represent. Note: The speeds are test speeds - not recommended speeds.

Q - up to 100 mph.
S - up to 112 mph.
T - up to 118 mph.
U - up to 124 mph.
H - up to 130 pmh.
V - up to 149 mph.
W - up to 168 pmh.
Y - up to 186 mph.
Z - 149 mph. & over

When Z appears in the tire size designation (235 - 45ZR17) it signifies a maximum speed capability in excess of 149 mph. If a service description also appears, the maximum speed is indicated by the service description.

235/45ZR17 - 149+ mph
235/45ZR17 99W - 168 mph
235/45ZR17 99Y - 186 mph

Do not mix and match tires with different speed ratings on your vehicle. This can cause serious problems with the handling of your vehicle. If you desire better cornering response, there is no problem installing a higher speed rated tire on your vehicle.
