I second this. A tire ripping apart at 170 mph sounds like a quick trip to the grave

Tire Manufacturer Policies

A few tire manufacturers allow a punctured tire to retain its speed rating when returned to service if it can successfully pass a thorough exterior / interior inspection and be repaired following the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) specified multi-step procedure.
Several other manufacturers specify their highest speed-rated tires (originally V-, Z-, W- or Y-speed rated) can be driven no faster than the 130 mph speeds permitted of a lower H-speed rating.
However, most tire manufacturers reason that since they have no control over the severity of the damage caused by the puncture, the destructive stresses encountered if the tire was driven while underinflated/flat or the quality of the repair itself, they cannot confirm if the tire has retained its full integrity or high-speed capability. Therefore, most tire manufacturers have established policies that a punctured and repaired tire no longer retains its speed rating and should be treated as a non-speed rated tire driven no faster than 85 mph.
Finally, a few tire manufacturers recommend outright tire replacement, as they will not accept repaired tires for warranty consideration or do not endorse repair of V-, Z-, W- or Y-speed rated tires.
A summary of tire manufacturer speed-rated tire repair policies are listed below:

Picked up a screw with 20 miles on the car, luckily that one could be plugged and patched.

Got in the car yesterday and air pressure was a bit low on the other rear. Got to lunch and saw a nail in the tire...and wouldnt you know, to close to the shoulder to plug and patch so im getting a new tire... 270 miles...

Discount though is selling me road hazard on all the tires for pretty cheap so I will be protected going forward. The dealer wanted like 1200 for the wheel and tire protection package so I passed... Discount is doing all 4 for like 40 bucks.

i have 2500 miles on my car and so far ive ran over a nail in 3 different tires, and a broken piece of glass punctured the 4th requiring a new tire.

it seems like once every 2 weeks i run over something...

4,000 miles and I got a nail. I'm buying 2 new tires and road hazard insurance.

Super Pissed $780.00 nail!

I'm taking the tire down to tire shop to ask if they will plug the hole. I want to do a few smoke shows!

If the nail is in the tread only patch it and keep driving.
