Look at the sidewall of your tyre and you’ll see a number denoting the size, and a letter denoting the speed rating as follows: L (75mph/120km/h max) M (81mph/130km/h max) P (93mph/150km/h max) S (113mph/180km/h max) T (118mph/190km/h max) H (130mph/210km/h max) V (over 130mph/210km/h but max speed indicated) VR** (over 150mph/240km/h max)
