Plus Sizes? Do you know my ex wife??? [sm=insomnia.gif]

FYI.. the Factory Tires are rated for 117MPH... so what happens to those who regularly drive their stangs at 120mph for an extended period? [sm=badbadbad.gif]

I thought they were W-speed rated @ 168mph. That's how someone went 160mph last week... right?

My BAD...

I'm reading off of my Computer Printout of my Order Confirmation.

Shows

T4B .P235/55ZR17 A/S

I missread that to mean speed rating of S.. or 112mph

BUT.. Iguess they are really Z=speed R=Radials... so good for 149+

So what does the A/S mean, I have no idea!
