Singular point

What is the singular point on a van tyre?

Tyres for commercial vehicles are subject to UNECE regulation R54 (this regulation requires, in particular, that load capacity and speed ratings be indicated on the tyre).

However, in some cases, there may be additional marking with a higher speed capacity, combined with a reduction in load capacity.

For example, some dimensions are marked with a load capacity index and a speed capacity index.

96H

Example : 215/65 R 15 C 104/102T

104T single mount

Standard :

102T twin mount

MARKINGS

96H

Additional:

(for single mounting only) Also known as "Singular Point" 96 = Singular Point

What is the "singular point" ?

A van tyre has a double marking for the load capacity index and may have a singular point For example : 215/65R15 104/102 T (96H)

104 = Maximum load capacity when mounted on a single axle (here: 900 kg per tyre) 102 = Maximum load capacity when mounted on a twin axle (here: 850 kg per tyre) 96 = Maximum load capacity when mounted on a single axle (here: 710 kg per tyre), at higher speeds (H index)
