Summer vs All Season Tyres & The Irish Climate
Summer tyres use specialized hard compounds for maximum precision above 7°C. However, in Ireland’s temperate climate, many motorists transition to the Firestone All Season 2 as it handles rain and morning frosts with ease. It offers the safety of a winter-rated tyre while maintaining the durability of a summer tyre, providing 365-day "peace of mind."
Load and Speed Rating
The load index is a numerical code for the maximum weight (kg) a single tyre can safely support. The speed rating, shown as a letter, indicates the maximum speed (kph) it can maintain. Always match or exceed manufacturer specifications found on the door pillar or manual; never fit tyres with lower ratings than recommended.
Quick Reference Guide
- Check your requirements: You can find the specific requirements for your vehicle on the tyre information plate (usually located on the driver-side door pillar) or in the owner's manual.
- Replacement rule: It is vital never to fit a tyre with a lower load index or speed rating than those recommended by the manufacturer.
- Common Ratings: Standard ratings include T (190 kph), H (210 kph), and V (240 kph). You can view a full conversion table below..
