That doesn't make sense. Many snow tires don't have the speed rating that the equivalent Summer tires do and yet millions are installed every year. The important point to remember is that the operator knows the rating of the tires that are currently on the car. I have no plans to exceed the rating on the BFG AS tires so they are staying on all year. I was presently surprised at how affordable they are.
I did read the fine print. The mileage warranty is cut in half when the tire sizes on the vehicle are not the same. Just something to be aware of. I plan on keeping these tires on all year.
