my bf goodrich radial T/As are T (maybe s i forgot) rated at 118 mph, if i go a little over that should i really worry about them popping or something[&:]?

 

They may not pop, but I would worry about it. If you want some inexspensive tires that can do 130 easy then head over to the topic I just made.

 

I don't know about the tires, but I think my head would pop.[&:]

 

Go for the "ZR".

 

speed rating doesnt really matter you can blow a tire at any speed just depends on what you hit and speeding on a plubic road isnt a good idea

 

Don't even consider taking your car up to that speed. It is not designed nor equipped to handle it.

 

+1 without some aero/suspension mods its very unstable at speed like that

 

Yeah, we don't need Z rated tires on our classics. However, I do have Z's on my Mach. H's should be good enough.

 

+1 on not going that fast w/out suspension mods. I went 115 without suspension mods and I was about to crap my pants. It was rediculously scary. The front end started lifting and the steering did almost nothing. stick to 90 and under until you do some aero/ suspension mods

 

There is absolutely no reason to take your car up to those speeds. Street racing is, besides illegal, just stupid and unsafe. Bragging rights are for children. If you're going to drag race on a sanctioned track, then get the right equipment and install the correct parts on your car. Worrying about speed rating on tires is unnecessary for a daily driven commuter car.

Any posts that advocate or even discuss street racing need to be removed. We've lost too many kids who think they are bulletproof.
