Can I fit a higher / lower speed rating?

Changing the speed rating on can be dependent on the type of vehicle you own.

If you are buying tires for a 4x4 we recommend that you keep to the original speed ratings as fitted when the 4x4 rolled off the production line. If you wish to make changes then you should verify the change is suitable from the vehicle manufacturer. Blackcircles.com.eg cannot take responsibility for any mechanical issues that are caused as a result of a change of speed ratings.

However, for cars the fitting of a higher speed rating is fine. If you do choose a tire with a higher speed rating though, we recommend that you match the tires across the axels, avoiding having different speed ratings fitted on either side of the car. We do not recommend lowering the speed rating to anything less than was fitted to your vehicle as original equipment on the production line.
