Robert, you probably know this. Don't they actually say 149+ or 168+? And so on and so on. But what's the +? Is it 150 or 250? I believe whatever it is those are supposed to be sustained speed no?
Btw I did get some pics uploaded as requested. Nothing great but what I had in photobucket.

H rated tires are good to 130mph,Z are 149mph,W is 168mph,and Y is good for 186mph+. How much higher a Y can handle and for how long are good questions that I don't know the answer to.

You got me,John. Can't say I've heard of that one.
This stuff used to be a lot simpler. ![]()
