What this value can decide
102H: 850 kg is the nominal load-index reference and 210 km/h is the speed-symbol reference. They are not a promise of that load at that speed: application, pressure and load/speed adjustments apply.
Always meet or exceed the vehicle placard/manual requirement for load and speed rating.
How to use a service description
The service description follows the size marking, for example 225/45R17 91V.
The number is the load index and the letter is the speed symbol. Replacement tires should
normally meet or exceed both values specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
The rating is not a promise that every tire is suitable for every vehicle. Pressure, axle load, wheel size, construction, certification and local rules still matter.
