Got a flat. A simple swap, but the spare has 50MPH stickers on it.

So why would the spare wheel have a maximum speed limit of 50MPH on it
when it has the same sized tyre on it as the flat one? The only
difference I can see is that the spare is not an alloy wheel.


FTAOD what is the speed rating on the tyre - that is, the letter at the
end of the code on the sidewall rather than the sticker? (I've never
seen an "F" rating on a car tyre but then I've not seen a lot.)


The ones on the car are 1H, 1T and 2Vs. The spare is a T.

All are 195/65/15 and they are all are asymmetrical.


The asymmetrical will be the reason for the stickers.
