By 1915, absinthe had been banned in the United States and in much of Europe, including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Austria-Hungary. Although absinthe was vilified, it has not been demonstrated to be any more dangerous than ordinary spirits.
During one of our recent performance rating tests on hard braking in an emergency situation, a lower âSâ rated tire driving 100 kilometres per hour was still going almost 25 km/hr when the higher âVâ rated tire stopped. The âSâ rated tire took 39 metres to stop. The âVâ rated tire stopped in 35 metres.
Tires with a Q speed rating can safely sustain speeds of up to 99 miles per hour. The tire may be able to reach higher speeds, but going faster than 99 mph for any length of time is not safe. The tire is not designed to handle the stresses. What is a Z Rating? For tires rated above 149 mph, a Z rating may appear in the size designation. Safety and Speed Ratings. When you get new tires, choose tires with at least the speed rating your car or truck's manufacturer recommends. It's ok to move up to a higher speed-rated tire, but don't go lower. The speeds shown are test speeds; they are not recommended speeds. Please obey speed limits.
