They want the tyre model showing &#8220;SUV&#8221; on the tyre sidewall as they are concerned that normal tyre model can&#8217;t handle the weight and gravity shift of SUV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if they don&#8217;t choose SUV specific tyre model, they want &#8220;SUV&#8221; these three letters to appear on the tyre sidewall to specify that it can support SUV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is SUV tyre?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stated from tyre manufacturer, SUV tyre is a model that specifically designed for SUV. Their tyre size only available for SUV in the market. You won&#8217;t find a sedan or saloon vehicle size in SUV tyre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it necessary to use SUV specific tyre?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A short answer: no. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like Electric Vehicle owners concern whether a normal tyre can support the weight of the EV, all tyres are designed with more than sufficient loading such that it suits every vehicle in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take an example of Tesla Model Y SUV, with tyre size &#8211; 255\/45 R19<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/michelin\/ps4suv.php\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/michelin\/ps4suv.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pilot Sport 4 SUV<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/michelin\/pilotsport5.php\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/michelin\/pilotsport5.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pilot Sport 5<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tyre size available<\/td><td>255\/45 R19 100V<\/td><td>255\/45 ZR19 (104Y)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Loading index<\/td><td>100<\/td><td>104<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weight Support<\/td><td>800kg *4 = 3200 kg<\/td><td>900kg *4 = 3600kg<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/michelin\/pilotsport5.php\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/michelin\/pilotsport5.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pilot Sport 5<\/a> has a even higher loading index than Pilot Sport 4 SUV. Furthermore, Pilot Sport 5 does not have &#8220;SUV&#8221; imprinted on the tyre sidewall. Does it mean Pilot Sport 5 cannot be installed on a SUV like Tesla Model Y?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a sedan or saloon vehicle size cannot be found in SUV tyre. What about SUV tyre size found in passenger vehicle tyre category? Take another example of Kumho tyre models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/kumho\/hp91.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kumho HP91<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/kumho\/PS71.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kumho PS71<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/kumho\/PS72.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kumho PS72<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Kia Sorento Tyre Size 235\/55 R19<\/td><td>235\/55 R19 101V<br>235\/55 ZR19 105W<\/td><td>235\/55 ZR19 101Y (with &#8220;SUV&#8221; on side wall)<\/td><td>Not available <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past years, lots of passenger vehicle tyre models will imprint &#8220;SUV&#8221; on the sidewall to state that the tyre also suitable for SUV (SUV suitable). Tyres such as Michelin Primacy 4, Goodyear F1A6 and Falken FK510 with sizes that show as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/michelin\/primacy4.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Primacy 4 SUV<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/goodyear\/f1a6.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">F1A6 SUV<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/falken\/FK510.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FK510 SUV<\/a> simply shows that it&#8217;s suitable for SUV as well (just like EV suitable tyres). In fact, SUV tyre sizes won&#8217;t even appear in sedan and saloon vehicle, vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, latest models like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/falken\/FK520.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Falken FK520L<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/michelin\/primacy5.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Michelin Primacy 5<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyrehood.com\/en\/brands\/dunlop\/max060plus.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dunlop Sport Maxx 060+<\/a> no longer add &#8220;SUV&#8221; on the sidewall. It&#8217;s just simply, one for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should you choose SUV specific tyre?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to longer mileage, SUV specific tyre wins. Comparing a normal tyre, SUV tyre provides a better control for your SUV in the same tyre category (high performance or touring).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Small market like Hong Kong does not offer a myraid of SUV tyre models unlike oversea market.
