A pity they had to use pictures of car tyres to talk about mt, otherwise it is not too bad.

Re: Tires In Detail
I have a specific question that this august group may be able to answer.
Firstly, speed rating. 168 mph +. Speed rating means exactly how fast does this tire run? Is there not a limit?
Secondly, regarding land speed tire for 200 mph + . ( They are featherlight treadless.)
Goodyear has a dragster front 17 inch but the tread is square shouldered, therefor ineligible to pass tech inspection.
Hoosier has a similar tire which pass visual inspection. Does the m/c rim set the bead adequately?
Seasons greetings.
