Speed Ratings*

 

Many Dunlop tires are available in speed-rated versions to match the speed capabilities of the world's fastest cars. Generally, it is recommended that a speed-rated tire be replaced with a tire having an equivalent or greater speed rating.

 

However, if you never drive at speeds near the limits of your speed rated tires, you may choose to replace them with tires having a lesser top speed rating.

 

In situations where tires having different top speed ratings are mixed on a vehicle, the maximum speed certification is limited to the top speed certification of the tire with the lowest speed rating.

 

Speed ratings do not indicate how well a tire handles or corners. They certify the tire's ability to withstand high speed.

 

 

*Dunlop Tires does not recommend the use of its products in excess of the legal speed limits.
