Hello Forists and professionals, I’m looking for winter tyres (yes, I’m early… I know) and since I will definitely never take advantage of the registered top speed in winter with winter tyres, I want to buy tyres that are below the index. In addition, a lower speed index significantly increases the selection of tyres. I don’t want to save on the tire, but only have a wide selection as far as possible. The registered top speed is 260k m/h. How far can I go down the index? I only know that I have to install a corresponding KLEBER in the field of view of the speedometer, that’s clear. But should I use the index to “throttle” on e.g. 210 or there are “rules” that you can only drive one or two steps per index under the registered top speed? Oh yes… the tyre size must be lt COC either 225/45R17 or 205/50R17. I don’t know what I choose, as there are no rims at the moment. The lowest load index mentioned in the papers is 91 = 615kg, the vehicle has a registered max. VA load of 1150kg = 575kg per page… if that matters. Thank you in advance!
