225/45 R17 91Y Michelin CrossClimate 3

Example Tyre Size: 225 40 18 92Y - XL A0 - (C/B/72db)

Size: 225 40 18 - This is your tyre size. These three numbers represent the width, profile and rim diameter.

Speed / Load: 92Y - The number (92) represents how much weight a tyre can hold. The letter (Y) represents how fast the tyre can go.

OEM: A0 - This marking means the tyre is Audi spec. For a full list of OEM please check out our Tyre Maintenance page.

Symbols: XL / RSC – XL means Extra Load, allowing the tyre to carry more weight. RSC stands for Run-Flat, letting you drive for a short distance after a puncture.

Ratings: C/B/72db - The first rating (C) is the Fuel Efficiency. The second rating (B) is Wet Grip and the final (72db) is the noise rating.

The load index, often located after the tyre size, is used to determine a tyre's weight-carrying capacity. It's important to familiarise yourself with these load index codes to ensure that the tyres you choose can handle the weight of your vehicle and any additional load.

Selecting tyres with the appropriate load index is vital for maintaining optimal performance, safety, and durability on the road.

Example 1: 225/40R18 92W
Load Index: 92 (Supports 630KG per tyre)

Example 2: 265/70R17 115Q
Load Index: 115 (Supports 1215KG per tyre)

Example 3: 235/65R16C 115/113R
Dual Load Index: 115/113

Single fitment: 115 = 1215KG per tyre

Twin fitment: 113 = 1150KG per tyre

This dual rating is commonly used on commercial tyres, where the tyre might be used in either a single or twin configuration. It's crucial to match both values appropriately depending on how the tyre will be used. If you're replacing tyres on a twin-wheel axle (like many box vans or minibuses), the second number (113) is the one to focus on.

The letter represents the maximum speed a tyre is designed to handle. For example, "Y" indicates a speed rating of up to 186 mph. It's essential to check you are buying tyres with the appropriate speed rating for your vehicle.

Example: 225/40R18 92W
Load Index: W (Maximum speed: 168 mph)
