AFTER doing my 160+ run in my V, i was talking with a friend about tire ratings which led me to look at my tires. i then noticed that they are only V rated.
so anyone running with the Goodyear RSAs, they are only rated at 149mph.....so be careful guys.
i wont be going that fast again untill i get some Y rated tires.....

if all you want is a higher rated tire, the goodyear eagle f1 gs-2 is on sale for $102 each (they also have a 50 dollar rebate if you buy a set of 4) at tirerack.com. its is W (168mph) rated, but is only single A traction. 300 treadwear. $358 plus shipping is pretty damn cheap for a set of tires any way you cut it.
a good deal on a good tire is the kumho ecsta SPT at 129 dollars. Y rated (186) with 320 tread rating and AA traction.
