I won't lie I have been 155mph in my car a few times, but what is the real need to go that fast?
Wait, what's to stop any LT or SS driver from buying tires that are not rated at 155mph? Has anyone actually tested whether a dealer would be willing to both sell a person the higher rated tires AND change the limiter? I keep hearing people say that the dealers won't do it but no examples.
