Ugh, that's a good point too. I know we have speed rating standards, but are they enforced? Are those $100 special tires only designed and rated for like 70mph? Is there a federal standard that sets a minimum tire speed rating a shop can install on a road-legal car?

It should be like Germany when it comes to installing tires that don't meet that standard for that rated speed.
