Is it really dangerous to go 145MPH on 130MPH rated tires?
Today I found a nice stretch of highway to go 145MPH in my 97 SE 5 speed. It was a slightly downhill at the end then the highway ends and comes to a T so I couldn't try to go any faster. I have V rated tires (149MPH) in the front and H rated tires in the back (130MPH) in the back. I am planning on going back soon and doing it again so I can get a picture of it because no one believes my max can go that fast. My question is should I be worried about going 145 on the H rated tires? I didn’t have any problems today and its only for a 1/2 mile or so.

if i were you, i wouldn't try going that fast if the tires says that it cant.
its just saying do not redline your car because it is not good too. if you redline it once, it wont do too much harm, but in the other hand, if you over do it.....than you get the consequence. going that fast, if your tires to blow on you, you will flip your car.

Lemme get this straight: You want to prove how fast your car goes with a PICTURE?
Drive safe, dude. That sounds too fast, if anything went wrong you could flip around a few dozen times before coming to a stop.
But, otherwise, have fun and see ya

MaximaSe96 is more in line with the question, just don't sustain that speed for long! There's so many variables that can go wrong at that speed.

Errrr, tires heat up, spin apart.
I've done stupid things on ****ty tires before, but atleast I'm aware that I can die at any second. God forbid you take a few with you.
At high speeds, our little consumer products can act so much differently...it's not even funny.
ummm, good luck.

I think trying to focus the camera on the speedometer is going to make things a little trickier
But one more time won't kill me.

Heh, screw your friends dude.. Its not even worth it to go so fast for them and put yourself in harm..
Anyways its your life.. All I can tell you is use multiburst shots in your cam, most probably unless its really bright outside you're not gonna get a clear shot.. so just put the cam hold the button down and keep ur eyes on the road

I went 135 in mine once with 3 other people in it and it felt like it could go faster. After that I never go over 90...I like my life too much. The only thing I can tell you is to not touch ur brakes at that speed no matter what. Don't test out your luck either, cops will take your lisence away for a very long time.

Do it in the daytime, with a high iso setting it will come out.

just wondering how do you know you are doig 145? i though it only goes up to 140? I have hot i 130 by myself in my car.
Chotuha just wondering why would you ever go that fast with people in your car? So you could risk there lives to. Especally seeing what happened to affiro with his friend in the car makes me never do that with other people in the car....to much to risk.

Yea it's stupid to go that fast with other in your car Chotuha. Right as I was reading that I heard on the news about a girl going 130MPH speeding around here with 2 other people in her car and she wreck. She was the only one to die so far and the others have lifethreating injuries and may not make it.

I've had my balding pirelli supersport tires come apart on me on the dyno......
145mph is suicide.

I learn on other peoples mistakes, going fast is too dangerous, especially if you have people in the car. I meen look at Affiro, poor guy is now being trialed with man slaughter. Stay safe, and know your surroundings.
#27
oh, and i learn on my mistakes too, lol... last thing you want is a cop getting behind you when your doing 110 racing a prelude! i got off because the cop ended up being my neigbor. but he still told my mom, lol
#28
Hmmm, after reading this I kinda see why insurance for under 25 is so expensive. Go ahead, flame on. *putting on the firesuit*

Like was already said, treadwear ratings are based upon heat buildup and those ratings are based upon a period of one hour sustained operation at said speed. So no it shouldn't hurt your tires to go that fast, but it may very well lower your life expectancy. I'm not going to be a hypocrite though, I have gone that fast and faster in my Max, but it is done with as much caution as can be used when going 145mph.
And btw speedometer error is for the most part an unfounded, and inaccurate belief perpetuated by alot of people on the internet. Speedometers in cars are for the most part very accurate at all speeds unless there is something specifically wrong with them. And motortrend tested a 95 SE 5spd at 142mph with a radar gun back in 95.

The other 2 times I got up to 130 and there would be a car and I'm not going to pass a someone going 65MPH while I'm going 140+.
As to driving 145 on 130 rated tires...not a fantastic idea, but for a short distance should not be a huge problem. The heat is the problem, if the tires are at higher temp after highway use, they will not last as long as a cold tire, however they will have more grip. Just use extreme caution if you do this. Killing someone else while doing this would really suck.

Morons:
You for going 145...
The genius Maximus_95 for thinking tire rating has anything to do with redline...
You again for thinking speed ratings were developed in europe...
You a third time for thinking your "cop friend" would radar-verify it...
You a fourth time for thinking your e-brake (rear-only) would do a better job stopping you than ALL FOUR brakes...
You a fifth time for thinking you're "coordinated and can handle it"...

2)“In Europe, where selected highways do not have speed limits and high speed driving is permitted, speed ratings were established to match the speed capability of tires with the top speed capability of the vehicles to which they are applied. Speed ratings are established in kilometers per hour and subsequently converted to miles per hour (which explains why speed ratings appear established at "unusual" mile per hour increments).”
That’s from www.tirerack.com I know there a fly by night business but that comes straight from them. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete...eral/speed.jsp
3) My cop friend is a young cop and does stupid $hit all of the time. He had me radar his truck to see what it topped out at. So I don't think he will have a problem doing it for me.
4) I need new front breaks really bad and they do almost nothing.
5) I am coordinated and I can handle it. You have never seen me drive.

How can you possibly even compare going 60 to going 145?
Thank God I don't live in the St. Louis, Mo area.

where did you get that maximus_95 said that redline had anything to do with tires , he said that like redline, the more you do it, the chances are greater that something is going to go wrong
