Hi guys, Looking to replace 4 tyres standard setup etc, i have "Z" rated P6000's on there now and i have looked in the Owners Manual and they have rated it a "V " rating ?
Thoughts ?

MY00 Classic (205/50R16 87V)

v = 150mph
z = 180+mph ish

What the rating is but i presume i can put anything on that is at least a V rated tyre ?

The rating is the Letter R before the rim diameter, the V is for load rating

P1GAZ

R means it's a radial ply tyre, V is the speed rating and 87 is the load rating.

V rated or higher will fine (V W Y or Z)

My mistake, no confusion, intended, just need to check facts b4 posting

Just ordered some Avon ZZ3's £285 fitted, so hopefully they should be quite good, they get a good write up.

There fitted now with a 30 day no quibble guarantee so we'll see if we like them and if they'll change them. TBH we dont drive the car hard at all we just like having the car and driving and the occasional run even then my wife moans at me for driving a little fast round corners, top it all off they have put 4 foot f****** speed humps and 2 chicanes in our road...B*******.
