While a speed symbol is an indication of the speed capability of the tyre, we do not endorse the operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner.
NB: Load Carrying capacity is reduced as speeds increase over 130mph. Seek advice from your tyre dealer or Cooper Tires on maximum loads and speeds.
