Tyre speed ratings...

Postby mortalwombat » Mon 15.01.2007, 19:24

Hi,

The time has come to replace the front tyres on my '91 n/a.
Currently running Goodyear Eagle F1's which are Z-rated (bought with the car).

Blackcircles.com list only one Z-rated 205/50R15 - Toyo R888. These are not only expensive, but I think probably overkill for my use...
Their choice of V-rated tyres is much better.

So, do I need Z-rated tyres or will V be OK?
Don't think the car would do 149+ mph even if I wanted to :shock:

Thanks :)
