hat does the writing on my car tyre mean? Is it important?


Because there are so many different types of tyres to fit so many different types of cars it’s important to be able to tell which ones are which, and that’s what the numbers and letters around the wall of your tyre are.
 

The two main reasons for these markings are:

• To help identify the correct size and specification for the tyres which corresponds with their load-carrying and speed capabilities.
• To confirm that the tyre has been tested and approved to European and other safety standards.
