"H" Speed rating is good to a 130 mph for a street tire I think that is plenty. Say you was at the track and ran in the 9's at over a 130 mph you would still be fine with a "H" rated tire. And even if you went a 150 mph on a "H" rated tire you could do it if you didn't keep the speed up very long.

I found that old post I had. http://web.camaross.com/forums/showt...hreadid=169148

Here is the reason my tires only last a few months. WooT

Amen brother, these are by far the worst tire that I've ever used. I have no track experience with them, but as far as daily driving is concerned, they flat out suck. They're fine for the first couple hundred miles, but once they start to wear, look out. They dont hold traction whatsoever, and the treadwear diminishes quickly. For what it's worth, I'll never by these tires again. I'd rather spend a couple more dollars for a quality tire, just my .02. Later.
