Numerous demands are made on a tire. Refer to TIRE REQUIREMENTS
Each of these demands is made on every tire to a certain degree.
Depending on the use of the tire and the vehicle type, certain demands may be more heavily weighted while others are accordingly less significant.
One expects greater adhesion, even on wet or flooded surfaces from H, V and Z tires for "high-powered vehicles". Consequently, the service life for tires of this type is not as high as for S or T tires, for example.
