During one of our recent performance rating tests on hard braking in an emergency situation, a lower âSâ rated tire driving 100 kilometres per hour was still going almost 25 km/hr when the higher âVâ rated tire stopped. The âSâ rated tire took 39 metres to stop. The âVâ rated tire stopped in 35 metres.
With most on-highway truck tires now rated for 75 mph (speed rating L for the ISO LI/SSY rating), 75 should be a safe speed for tires if the correct pressure is maintained. Speeds above 75 may require additional pressure or reducing the load on the tire.
