Running 3 v rated and 1 w ?

[andysat]

Hi all ive just noticed that im running two different speed rated tyres,they are bog standard bridgestone potenzas 225/50/r16 but three of them are 92v and the rear driver side is 92w is this safe/ok?

I might be wrong but I thought Bridgestone Turanza was 92W, which wasn't run-flat!

someone else will confirm this for you Andy :roll:

mine are Bridgestone Potenza 88W fronts and 90W rears

 

[andysat]

Thats ok though isnt it Taz because they are the same speed rating?

Andyif you check the speed rating online I don't think you will find you have anything to worry about.

Thanks mate-my OCD nearly came back then :roll:

 

[Taz]

for every day use speed ratings on tyres will have no effect IMO

insurance may be an issue, would they try an void a claim if you did not have the recommended speed rated tyre? they will use any excuse

I phoned up aviva yesterday as I'm changing my fronts to Falken FK452 and they couldn't give a damn about speed rating for some reason. They were only interested in tyre size. To be safe, just ring your insurer as they all seem to vary in policy.

Cheers.
