These are going to be the new radial t/a's, I might just have to get these for my prostars in the spring!

They are only T rated to 118mph. Scary...

That's not so bad if you think about it, how many cars with those tires are gonna see speeds over 118 on the street?

J91

Hopefully none, I dunno I prefer a little stability at speed...

Really because you regularly drive at 118mph? Speed ratings are for SUSTAINED speeds its not a max speed rating.

You wanna put cheap tires that are unsafe at speed on your car, be my guest, I race in street classes on tracks and like something a little better under foot, if you can't relate to that. Oh well. When I'm at Mid-Ohio, or Maxton N.C. on the standing mile this year, I'll be thankful I put some real rubber underneath my car!

If you race on a track you're obviously not going to use $100 tires, these aren't for you. These are for people with skinny rims that want a little more traction. People like me. Also, your comment about stability, Radial T/As feel fine out past that speed, but due to the rating, I wouldn't want to hold that speed for long.

You know that's all that I was saying. T-rated tires are low rated and unsafe at speed. It must be the end of the week, people take stated facts as insults and lash out, jeez Rayzr ya' think I don't know that a tire rating is for sustained speed. Sorry if I pissed any of you off. I still won't buy cheap tires just cuz they look good, not even for my S-10 w/a V-6 in it. Have a nice night...
