Does anyone know what the lowest ratings we are allowed on our T5s?
As i have a chance to get 2 tyres they are ZRs but they have 87w on them also.

87w = 545 Kg's @ 167.8 Mph

Note the ZR bit is just to put it into 150+ Mph range the W is the accurate rating.

Are the ratings too low then?Obviously the letter is the max weight for the tyre.So it is too low.As our beasts weight 1500 lbs.

I think that is 545kg per tyre Gary. The plated max weight for my T5 is 1930kgs so those tyres will be fine.
