• Speed Rating (R): Rated R (up to 106 mph / 170 km/h), which is standard for commercial and light truck tyres, prioritizing durability and load stability over high speed.

• Summer Tread Design: The Van RX5 is typically categorized as a Summer Tyre, featuring a tread pattern designed for reliable traction and stability on dry and wet roads and motorways.

  • Wet Grip: Wide circumferential grooves and siping details are used for efficient water drainage to ensure reliable grip and reduce hydroplaning risk.
