JARGON BUSTERS

XL – Extra Load (stronger casing, higher pressure capability

ZP – Zero Pressure (can drive after a puncture) Run Flat Tyre

HL = High Load construction

FRV – Flange Rim Protection (reinforced bead area)
STD = Standard construction

ZR → high-speed construction
 

HIGH Performance, UHP (Ultra High Performance) tyre = maximum dry and wet grip with razor-sharp handling at high speeds, with reasonable tread wear and comfort achieved through intensive R&D and advanced compound technology from leading manufacturers.

SUMMER : A summer tyre delivers maximum grip and handling in warm, dry or wet conditions and is effective down to around 7°C,  below which peak performance starts to drop off.

EV READY means the tyre is engineered to handle the higher weight, instant torque, and noise-reduction needs of electric vehicles.

LOAD AND SPEED RATINGS BRIEFLY EXPLAINED

Load Rating (the number)

This number tells you how much weight ONE tyre can safely carry

The higher the number, the more weight it supports

All four tyres together must safely support the full vehicle weight

112  -  1120 kg
111  -   1090 kg
110  -  1060 kg

109 -  1030 kg
108 -  1000 kg
107  -  975 kg
106   -  950 kg
105   -  925 kg
104   -  900 kg

Rule: Always match or exceed the vehicle’s required load rating.

Speed Rating (the letter)

This letter tells you the maximum speed the tyre is designed to handle

It also reflects heat resistance, stability, and construction strength

Higher letter = higher performance capability

Common ratings:

Y = up to 300 km/h

Rule: Never fit a lower speed rating than the manufacturer specifies.
