Yeah I agree with what you posted. I saw that same article & the figures I put for the W & Y match up to the articles figures. Well if you stop & look at all high end sports cars & non high end sports cars they all have the Z rated tires, so that in itself should say something. Since your basically saying that the W & Y have higher ratings that they are better. Why doesn't Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Aston Martin & etc have the W or Z rated tires then? I am going to go on a limb here and say that the Z rated tires can basically withstand whatever speed the car can produce (more or less) & you are going to pay more for Z rated tires.
