Tyre load / speed ratings

[A-minor]

Hi, newbie here, picked up my (new to me) 2009 30i at the weekend.

First order of business is the lose the runflats, I know the tyre sizes I need but I wanted to check I'm getting the right speed rating etc. Thought it would be be in the handbook but can't see it. Am I being daft?

Rating Speed

V 149
W 168
Y 186
ZR 150+

You need a speed rating equal too or greater than the official top speed of the car.

Separately there is a load index figure..but in simple terms any high speed tyre will meet the minimum load index figures of any z

Looking good. I’m sure you will enjoy the car just as I have with mine.
