does a 91 rating go above what your required to have. (will be on the tyre rating placard)

if i remember right on a vs (should be same on a vr) that nathan had to have 92 or 93 rating otherwise your insurance may aswell be null and void.

lol if you go by the tyre placard then insurance is already void because the standard rating is for 15inch wheels and i got 18s but im insured for 18s so i might have to check with them if they have a preference with ratings,

cheers

The "91" indicates load capacity per tire, You'll get about 1350lbs per tire
The W in 91W after the size code indicates a speed rating. While these tires are proably Z rated (speeds in excess of 149MPH) in the tire size the W indicates that the tires are rated to a higher speed. W and X were added since there were no guidelines about how much over 149 Z rated tires were good for.
W indicates a top rated speed of 168MPH.

Just found that info on a website

A 91 rating is like a retread you wont be able to drive at high speeds with a heavy load
