Tyre speed rating.

Post by Holophyte »

Just a quick question people

My tyres at present are 235/45/17 97Y

I'm getting a new tyre on Thursday which is 235/45/17 97W

Does this make any difference? From what I'm lead to believe Y gives speeds up to 186MPH & W up to 168 MPH both of which the Passat would never reach unless it was going down a 70 degree hill.

So question. Is it fine having 1 tyre as a W and the other 3 as a Y?
