What is the V tire speed?

• A. 250
• B. 195
• C. 270 / .76M (lowest)
• D. 160

Answer: (B)

V tire speed is the maximum speed at which the tires are allowed to rotate when the aircraft is on the ground. It’s a limit set by the tire construction to prevent overheating and failure during taxi, takeoff roll, and landing roll. For this airplane, the tire is rated to 195 knots, which is the controlling ground speed limit for the tires. Other numbers shown reflect tire ratings used on different aircraft or potential dual-rating tires, but the ERJ 175’s tire limitation is 195 knots, making that the correct value to apply in limitations. This ensures you stay within safe tire temperature and structural limits during ground operations.
