So my tire guys asks if I really need z rated tires? He figures I'll never hit max speed of the tire, which I will not, and certainly will not do it for sustained times.
Can we run a lower rated tire? Although at the prices I'm seeing, not sure it's worth it. |

I doubt if any tires less than Z rated are available in our sizes?

I saw this offer From Discount Tire and thought I'd pass it along.
Use coupon code CMOTORS0314 and get $100 off your purchase of $400 or more. Only through the eBay store but a great deal http://stores.ebay.com/Discount-Tire-Direct |

What is he offering you? You can get a set of nt 05's for 636.00 shipped. Those are W rated which is 168.

I got flat spotting on Sumitomos x 315 each day. They unwound after 3 minutes...

I'm not ready for tires, so he wasn't offering anything. Interesting to know the Nitto's are only W rated.

At this moment I would like to exercise my fifth amendment right so as not to incriminate myself.

It is kind of funny how they rate tires. In the 80's the tire manufacturers came up with Z rated which was 140MPH, now of days we have W which equals 168 MPH and Y which is 190+ MPH
