gavin.starr Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Ive got crappy nexen tyres on my car at the mo but they are wearing thin. On the front i have got falken 452's on. I want to get falken on the rears also but im having a little bit of an issue with the markings on the tyres. The nexen read 245/40 ZR18-89Y The falken on the net read 245/40 R18-89Y I understand that the R means Radial but what does the Z mean in ZR18. Does it make any difference that the Z isnt there. any help mould be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavin.starr Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Cheers for the link bud. I have done some more reading up and emailed a tyre company and they said that the Z is an old rating that is now no longer used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
