Tire speed rating
Vehicles without Sport Package:
Your vehicle is factory equipped with “W”-rated tires, which have a speed rating of 168 mph (270 km/h).
Vehicles with Sport Package:
Your vehicle is factory equipped with “V”-rated tires, which are permissible for speeds over 149 mph
(240 km/h).
Despite the tire rating, local speed limits should be obeyed. Use prudent driving speeds appropriate to prevailing conditions.
Warning!
Even when permitted by law, never operate a vehicle at speeds greater than the maximum speed rating of the tires.
Exceeding the maximum speed for which tires are rated can lead to sudden tire failure causing loss of vehicle control and resulting in personal injury and possible death.
