Description of the problem | The problem is not specific to this car. The tire speed rating system in use today is long overdue for upgrading. Problem 1 is the confusion that exists between y and (y). Online tire dealers often blur the two categories. Problem 2 is the actual speed rating of (y) -- it is unknown but higher than 186. Problem 3 is that tires in the upper ranges are not separated. If you buy tires for a 2004 ford gt, they must be good for up to 215 mph, but 270 mph is not necessary. There are many tires that are good for 215 but not 270 mph. The current system does not tell consumers which tire is safe! I propose a new metric-based system. The following speed ratings would assigned to each tire: speed rating 15 (150 km/h) 20 (200 km/h) 25 (250 km/h) 30 (300 km/h) 35 (350 km/h) 40 (400 km/h) 45 (450 km/h) 50 (500 km/h) |
