This tyre carries a load index of 98, meaning each tyre is rated to support up to 750kg at the maximum permitted speed. The speed rating is W, certifying the tyre for use at sustained speeds of up to 270km/h (168mph). Always ensure replacement tyres meet or exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended load and speed ratings.

These standardised ratings make it easy to compare tyres on the factors that matter most for safety and running costs.

As an all-season tyre, this option provides year-round performance, balancing summer dry grip with winter cold-weather capability for drivers who prefer not to swap tyres seasonally. The Extra Load (XL) construction strengthens the sidewalls to support heavier vehicles or increased payloads.
