Just after some help from the tyre gurus.

I am lookin at different tyres, and would love it if some one can tell me what all the shiat on the sidewall stands for,

eg, q, c, p ratings
108, 109, 113 and so on.

any help appreciated.

they're to do with speed rating, traction, wear and possibly loading, but I never know what they mean without looking them up. MQ080 should know, he is a tyre bloke.
