Any tire with a speed capability above
186 mph (300 km/h) must include a
“ZR” in the size designation AND the
service description must be placed in
parenthesis. Example: 275/40 ZR 18
(99Y). The “(Y)” speed rating in paren-
thesis designates the maximum speed
capability of the tire as being above
186 mph (300 km/h). Consult the tire
manufacturer for the actual maximum
permissible speed of the tire.
i Not all M+S rated tires provide special win-
ter performance. Make sure the tires you use
show M+S and the mountain/snowflake sym-
bol.marking on the tire sidewall. These tires
meet specific snow traction performance re-
quirements of the Rubber Manufacturers Associ-
ation (RMA) and the Rubber Association of
Canada (RAC) and have been designed specifi-
cally for use in snow conditions.
If your tire includes “ZR” in the size
designation and no service
description 5 and 6 (୴ page 313) is
given, the tire manufacturer must be
consulted for the maximum speed ca-
pability.
