Title: Omega V6 speed rating on tyres- V or W
Post by: Varche on 05 July 2007, 20:09:16

Guys,

I have lost my handbook so what are the permissable speed ratings for my Omega? Am I right in thinking V or W are fine?

Am going tomorrow to get some new but the guy said he only had them in V rating. I have always fitted W as they cost very little more than V. Current tyres on my V6 Elite are 225 16 55 W.

V it is then.

Interesting that a V6 2.5 saloon is V rated but an estate is H. What is that about?

I would have thought estates would carry more weight around than a saloon!

V and H ratings on the tyres are about speed - load capacity of the tyre is stated separately generally it is marked on the side of the tyre something like "maximum load at ** psi *** lbs"

Hope this helps
