Aircraft Takeoff speeds

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?

Elemental oxygen is some pretty nasty stuff and the shuttle does not have
car tires.

While not *over* 200mph, this is close.

Seeing as there are cars that can and will do 200+, it would stand to reason
that there are tires built for them.

I believe this tire contains rubber and would not be suitable for space
vehicles.

Such sweet irony.

Let's see now, a troll of ram doesn't know something, so I must not know it.

Bwahahahahahahaha

BFG "Z" rateds are for 149 plus. "Y" is for not over 186.

NHRA top speed for 2003 was about 333 mph with either Hoosiers or
Goodyears taking 'em down the track. Land speed records at 400-500-600+
were done on rubber. These days though, I think they are using some
type of alloy disc, no rubber involved.

From the link above:
"When Z-speed rated tires were first introduced, they were thought to
reflect the highest tire speed rating that would ever be required, in excess
of 240 km/h or 149 mph. While Z-speed rated tires are capable of speeds in
excess of 149 mph, how far above 149 mph was not identified. That ultimately
caused the automotive industry to add W- and Y-speed ratings to identify the
tires that meet the needs of new vehicles that have extremely high top-speed
capabilities"


further:
"Most recently, when the Y-speed rating indicated in a service description
is enclosed in parenthesis, such as 285/35ZR19 (99Y), the top speed of the
tire has been tested in excess of 186 mph, 300 km/h indicated by the service
description as shown below:"
