"Z-rated"
what does it mean?

sorry if this is a dumb question

CrimeScene

Are you talking tire rating?

if you are talking tire speed rating, then Z is a tire rated top speed IN EXCESS of 149mph...depending on the modifier (aka Service description) it could rate as high as 190mph.

It's a new type of **** even freakier than XXX. It started in Germany after consumers complained that bondage films were pushing boundaries of decency.

Just kidding...

One of the best definitions can be found here:

Very high MPH, they resist heat build up, are standard equipment on GT's, and very expensive to replace, they last 20,000 miles, at 25,000 miles they become "slicks"

i have a set of those on my 89'

just cant wait to get a motor in it that can get me there!!

chrisc

they are standard on the GT's? I am wondering if my tires are z-rated...i have the pony package which should mean i have the GT wheels? i am not too sure if that is completely true though, i get the feeling that it is possible that i have just the GT rims. right now i have the pirelli p-zero neros

I believe the Perelli's are W-Rated. Meaning like 168mph.
