Is "82V" speed rating normal on 195 width tyres

[matth76 0]

Hi

 

Just had some new Eagle F1 tyres fitted to my two front wheels. My wheels are the standard 15" bbs alloys. The tyre size is 195/50/15. However I have noticed the speed rating is "82V" instead of "86V" which is what is used to be on my old 205 width tyres. Is 82V fine for a VR6 and is it only the "V" / letter that matters, not the number? What does the number mean.. is it lower because I am on smaller 195 width tyres?

 

Thanks for any help.

82 & 86 refer to the load index.. for more info see here

 

i dont know the index recommmended for the rado off hand..

As the heaviest a rado can weigh is around 1500kg, at 82 you can have an overall vehicle load of around 2000kg so 82 should be fine.
