As vehicles have increased their top speeds into Autobahn-only ranges, the tire speed ratings have evolved to better identify the tires capability, allowing drivers to match the speed of their tires with the top speed of their vehicle.

Not that I ever would outside a track, or on a track for that matter, but it's nice to know the RE070s I got are (Y) rated. FWIW, a stock 370Z will do ~175mph on the old Mulsanne straight at Le Mans...in Forza 4
