“Z” Rated Tires
When “Z” appears in the size description with the service description, the
maximum speed is indicated by the service description. Examples:
Tire Designation Maximum Speed
P275/40ZR17 Above 240 km/h (149 mph)*
P275/40R17 93Y 300 km/h (186 mph)
P275/40ZR17 93Y 300 km/h (186 mph)
P275/40ZR17 (93Y) Above 300 km/h (186 mph)*
*Consult Tire Manufacturer
For tires having a maximum speed capability above 240 km/h (149 mph), a
“Z” may appear in the size designation.
For tires having a maximum speed capability above 300 km/h (186 mph),
a “Z” must appear in the size designation and the service description must
include Y in parenthesis. Example: 275/40ZR18 (99Y). Consult the tire
manufacturer for maximum speed when there is no service description.
Consult your Michelin tire retailer for maximum speed capabilities. For PAX

Tires, consult an authorized PAX System Tire Retailer. Although a
tire may be speed-rated, we do not endorse the operation of any vehicle in
an unsafe or unlawful manner. Speed ratings are based on laboratory tests
which relate to performance on the road, but are not applicable if tires
are underinflated, overloaded, worn out, damaged, altered, improperly
repaired or retreaded. Furthermore, a tire’s speed rating does not imply
that vehicles can be safely driven at the maximum speed for which the tire
is rated, particularly under adverse road and weather conditions or if the
vehicle has unusual characteristics. Michelin highway passenger tires that
do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall have a maximum speed rating
of 105 mph (170 kph). Light truck highway tires that do not have a speed
symbol on the sidewall of the tire have a maximum speed rating of 87
mph (140 kph). Michelin winter tires that do not have a speed symbol on
the sidewall or tires with Q symbols have a speed rating of 100 mph (160
km/h). Winter tires with a speed symbol have a maximum speed rating
in accordance with the symbol. The speed and other ratings of retreaded
tires are assigned by the retreader and replace the original manufacturer’s
ratings. IMPORTANT: It is recommended that the replacement tire speed
rating be equal to or higher than the OEM tire speed rating. If a lower
speed rated tire is selected, then the vehicle top speed becomes limited to
that of the lower speed rating selected. The customer must be informed
of the new speed restriction & the vehicle’s handling may be adversely
impacted. REMEMBER…High speed driving can be dangerous and may
damage your tires. AND…When driving at highway speeds, correct
inflation pressure is especially important.
