Reading the specs
What those numbers on the sidewall mean
Size
Width / aspect ratio / rim diameter, e.g. 205/55 R16 — the exact fitment your vehicle needs.
Speed rating
A letter code for the maximum safe sustained speed — from T (190 km/h) up to Z (240 km/h+) on sport fitments.
Load index
The maximum weight a single tyre can carry at full pressure — higher for SUVs and loaded tourers.
Compound
Softer race compounds grip harder but wear faster; touring and all-season blends trade grip for mileage.
Reviews
Riders and drivers who called first
"Called about slicks for a track day and they talked me through compounds over the phone before I even paid. Fitted same afternoon."
"Needed a specific load rating for a loaded estate car — the specs on the site matched exactly what the fitter brought out."
"Best tyre shop for corner-weight advice on a supersport. They know the difference between touring and race compound."
