Hi, just wanna ask, if i can put two different tires, same size but different speed rating. 93S and 98W
I have 2 pairs of tires with 98W and 2 pairs 93S speed rating. They're both same size 215 55 R17.
Is that ok to put them? Where should i put the higher speed rating? on the front or on the rear?
Thank you. Hope you response.
'S' is a speed rating. If you don't exceed the rated speed, you're fine. All wheels turn at roughly the same speed.
S = 180kph or 112 mph
Where should i put the higher speed rating? on the front or on the rear?
The speed doesn't matter. You should be more concerned with the load index.
93 = 650 kg or 1,433 lbs
You should put the higher rated tire wherever you expect more weight. You didn't follow the instructions to provide your vehicle info, but for most passenger vehicles that will be where the engine is (front). If it's a cargo vehicle and you haul or two, then that would be the rear.
*haul or tow
