Speed, Load & Pressure

Speed

The coefficients indicated in this table correspond to the international standard e.g. European Standard (E.T.R.T.O). They are given for information purposes only and may change. Please contact Michelin Technical Department for any modifications which are beyond the restrictions found either in this catalogue or on tyre sidewall markings. When the coefficients of this table require pressure adjustment more than 10 bars, essentially, reduce load to correspond with maximum 10 bars pressure and/or contact us. Also, use rims which are resistant to an increased pressure and respect the rules of rim mounting and usage.

  • Warning- Australian Design Rule 49. Pneumatic tyres — size and capacity
    The size and capacity of a pneumatic tyre to be fitted to a vehicle must be decided using a cold inflation pressure that is not more than the lesser of:
    (a) the pressure recommended by the tyre manufacturer; and
    (b) a pressure of:
    (i) for a radial ply tyre — 825 kilopascals; or
    (ii) for another tyre — 700 kilopascals.
