Step 3: Know your TMPH

To choose the right tire, you need to know your TMPH. The TMPH (Ton Miles 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 TMPH. TMPH and TKPH (Ton Kilometers Per Hour) values are part of the tire characteristics. They depend on the load capacity of each size, the number of miles allowed per hour per tire type, and are given for a standard ambient temperature of 38°C.
