If the stealth is not governed can and will it hit redline in 5th??? 135-140 around 6000 so could i still gain a couple MPH if i kept it on the floor??

 

Make sure your tires are rated for the speed before you try it at the track. I only have H rated (110 mph) because I rarely take the opportunity to go that fast. I prefer the curves and it is tough to exceed 100 mph on winding mountain roads!

 

M 81 mph 130 km/h
N 87 mph 140km/h Temporary Spare Tires
P 93 mph 150 km/h
Q 99 mph 160 km/h Studless & Studdable Winter Tires
R 106 mph 170 km/h H.D. Light Truck Tires
S 112 mph 180 km/h Family Sedans & Vans
T 118 mph 190 km/h Family Sedans & Vans
U 124 mph 200 km/h
H 130 mph 210 km/h Sport Sedans & Coupes
V 149 mph 240 km/h Sport Sedans, Coupes & Sports Cars

This was listed on Tirerack.com.. Just to let pple know what is what....

 

those ratings are a fluke anyways. the new mustang gts have S rated tires which is 112mph rating and i had mine pegged on 145. i mean think about it... Bridgestone Potenza tires stock on the Ferrari Enzo. and that car would go well over 200mph. think of the exotics??

 

OK here is something...I drive a 94/RT and i run a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/T's....they are 225/55 ZR16 [W] M+S...Later on the other side of the tire its stamped "Radial X"....And they run at 51 P.S.I max....I was told when i bought these tires they they were rated for high speeds....Does this sound right? What speed are they actually rated for? I do like these tires alot, they handle great around corners and top end...Not that im always driving that fast but i have cleared 130 a few times and like to have some confadence that my tires are not going to explode on me.

 

well i had to replace me tires on the rear so i got 225/50Z16 on the back and 225/50H16 on the front... should i not get up to 140. I have once.. before i found that H is technically 130

 

there are higher rating than the ones i found posted

 

Remember, manufacturers rate their product where test have shown they will not fail under normal conditions. Yes you can go faster than the tire is rated, but if it fails the manufacturer is not liable becuase you exceded what the product was rated at. This is true of almost any product. That is why they always fail after the warrenty has expired.
