 Tires are built for much higher speeds -
 and you can buy them for your car. A waste of money unless you have
 the right car, though.
 
 I don't think so, do you have a reference for the car tire?
 
 While not *over* 200mph, this is close.
 (Y) rated - tested to 186+mph

 I believe this tire contains rubber and would not be suitable for space
 vehicles.
 
 
 
 Seeing as there are cars that can and will do 200+, it would stand to
 
 reason
 
 
 that there are tires built for them.

 Funny it doesn't say anything here about them not being made of rubber
