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

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

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.

I was contributing to the thread, twit. I was arguing with Tarver's
assertion that there was no rubber in the tyres for the STS. Do you have
an opinion? If not, go away.

yes I have an opinion, and that is that this thread is NOT about car tires
or shuttle tires, move on and flame each other elswhere.

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:"

Boomer is correct.

Hey! With Tarver on your side, you'll go far.
