Re: "Feeling the Need for Speed, Texas Raises Its Limit to 80"



Per Neon John:

And tires coming apart.... I think mine are only rated for 85.

What are you doing, buying some of those $5 used retreads out the back
door of the tire store?

Good catch. Must've been thinking about an older set.

These (at least the 2006 models of Toyo Open Country) are rated "T" or 118 mph.

Still don't feel comfortable going over 70 in the thing I drive though....
although I'll kick it up to 75 or whatever it takes to synch with the passing
lane when I overtake somebody...
