Tire blowouts during long trips are something that often happens suddenly. However, this event can be minimized if you know the speed rating of your car's tires along with its limits. Hearing the statement that car tires have a certain speed limit may be new for most car owners. Instead of being curious, let's find out more details as follows.

Meaning of Car Speed Code and Its Limits

When you are about to replace and install new tires on your car, you certainly need to know the meaning of the codes on the tires. Starting from the tire type code, tire width code, aspect ratio code, wheel diameter, to the type of tire construction code. However, there is one code that you also need to know, such as the speed code and its limits on car tires. 

The speed limit code on car tires is usually located on the sidewall of the tire. If you do not know it, you can find it in the car's user manual. For example, if your car tire has the code 205/55R 16 91V. Then the speed code of your car is located on the letter “V”. This letter code has its own speed limit. 

By knowing this speed code, you can maximize the performance and acceleration of your car. In addition, it can prevent tire blowouts at certain speeds. Without further ado, let's find out the speed codes on car tires in detail by paying attention to the following review.

Thus, here are some speed codes of car tires that you need to know before you replace your tires. Make sure you replace the tires according to the standards of your car's specifications. If you drive your car above the speed limit of your tires, then the tires will easily blow out because the tire surface gets too hot. In addition, acceleration issues, such as car instability, decreased engine performance, and understeer can also occur. 

For cars used for daily activities, use tires with a speed limit of less than 210 km/h. Make sure you use original tires when replacing them. You can get tires and other original components for your car at the nearest Daihatsu workshop.
