Tyre speed and load ratings for TDV8

Can any body tell me the correct speed and load ratings for the 275x40 on 20" alloys for the TDV8? Cheers

Thanks Bob - any idea what the load rating is on your tyres? i.e max load?

Bit cold, wet and dark to go and look at the moment but a table I have gives 106Y as a Load Index of 950kg at a max speed of 300km/h.

Hope that helps

Am I right in thinking the load rating is 106, equating to 950kg?

That's it.

Four tyres each rated at 950kg give a total load capability of 3,800kg. The heaviest standard RRS quoted in my handbook is the V8 diesel with a Gross Vehicle Weight of 3,175kg, so there is a 20% factor of safety even if you find a way of reaching 300km/h (187mph).
