Step 3: Know your TKPH

To choose the right tire, you need to know your TKPH. The TKPH (Ton Kilometers Per Hour) is an essential characteristic of the working capacity of your tires. For the same size and pattern, there may be several types of rubber, each associated with a different TKPH. TKPH (Ton Kilometers Per Hour) values are part of the tire characteristics. They depend on the load capacity of each size, the number of kilometers allowed per hour per tire type, and are given for a standard ambient temperature of 38°C.
