There is a conflict on the speed rating of this tire. in the top it says Y but in the details it says Z. Which is the actual rating?

HI Charis, This Michelin is "Y" rated (186MPH) which falls under the greater "Z" classification. The "Z" rating is given to any tire that exceeds 149MPH so the speed ratings Z (149MPH), W (168MPH) & Y (186MPH) are all under that umbrella. Thanks, BWT

I had similar experience and returned mine. No idea but not a good tire by any stretch of the imagination.

Stephen is correct...the C is the load range on the tire. I don't know rating for C but you can google it or I would go with Stephen"s number

97 means 1609lb load rating and s is the speed rating of 112mph. These are passenger car tires no matter what other reviewers say.

Yes they would the difference is it's a bigger side wall, higher load range, and the speed rating is 99mph which is 7 mph slower than what your tires are rated now. I've had theses tires up to 110 before with no issues though. With the side wall being bigger your speedometer might be a few mph off but you can get that reprogrammed for the tires.

The R means radial. I don't like to mix radial and bias ply tires. The tire will fit but there may be some handling issues.

John,You're wise to ask this question as BFG produces this tire in white letter and a full blackwall. This particular listing is for the Raised White Letter version.Thank you,BWT

It is stated right in the header actually. It is a 10 Ply tire. If you did not know the Load Range E means the tire is a 10 ply rated tire. D would be an 8 ply. Hope that helps. Would be glad to get some tires heading your way. Thank You, Ryan DeBari Vittore Wheel & Tire 800.560.7834

I believe that the "D" stands for bias ply tire. in other words, it is not a radial tire. 75R = radial, 75D = bias ply.

Same exact tire from what I am showing here. Looks like one has referenced the newer Part # from Cooper. And they are actually both 113S Load/Speed rated. Not sure where the 115 came from. Hope that helps.

sorry it took so long, these tire rule. they say 35-80 so should take the load. they also have a nice ridged construction.

Daniel,Mine is a 99. I got a bad pair, one is longer than the other. I did not notice for a few days, after I discarded the original springs. I notified Marty at Dorman and basically told me tough *** . I cant send them back and be without my vehicle. The springs were just as week or weaker than the original pair with 230,000 miles on them. I am going to have to buy another pair(from other than Dorman) and eat the 250.00 I have in these. Amazon did not respond to me, Dorman said it is Amazon's problem.Had to drive it tracking to the left which ruined the new BFG all terain tires I had put on at the same time.

Sorry, "C" rated tires are for only speeds up to 37mph per the DOT charts?? I'd be careful going faster

No, they are not. The last numbers are 109 which is roughly load range 'D'. For a load range 'E' tire that last number should be about 120. Same tread as the 'E' rated tire, so looks are deceiving.

Yes, 150 is the width of the tire, sidewall to sidewall, in millimeters. I don't know if your original tire is oem or not, but if you do go larger than oem it's good to check with a knowledgeable mech for that bike or the manufacturer. Don't know what the "B" is ...that's not a designated speed rating. Sure it's not a P or R, that would be 93 or 106 mph respectively. Meaning at maximum tire pressure and maximum load on the bike that would be highest safe recommended speed. I believe the speed rating on these tires is 100 or 110, either way, fast enough! Good Luck and Paint Up!!!

While I am not a professional and if you call a tire place they should be able to tell you, but I know that P=Personal Vehicle (or somethign similar.) 205=tire width in millimeters, 55=Tire Aspect Ratio, or 55% from edge of rim to tires tread is 55% of 205, R=Radial 16=16" diameter (which is what these are) and finally 89 is load index of 89, and V I believe is like very high... something like 149mph rating for the tires. Long story short, the important factors are the 16 which is rim size, which this is 16 and then the tire width, from what I know the 205/55X16 tires typically go on 6.5" rims (stock for a lot of subies) and these rims, which I bought, handled 205/55X16 just fine. The .5" extra width simply lowers the total tire height, but barely at all. I recently purchased new tires and simply went up to a 7" wide tire. When you eventually replace your tires, I'd recomend the same

Hi. I own this trailer, and used the 45 mph rated tires for a bit, but stayed 55 or under. I bought the higher rated tires anyway, knowing I would be doing higher speeds. Have since traveled at 75 mph with no problem. I carry the original tires as spares.
