Tyre question...
« on: September 03, 2013, 09:35:14 am »
What does the "91W / 91Y" etc relate to with regards to tyres?
Am I right in thinking it's some sort of speed/safety rating?

Can I run either on my car?

Sorry for such a basic question...  :ashamed:

It's just the speed rating mate, read more about it here: http://www.blackcircles.com/general/speedrating

W or Y are fine.
