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.
What is Tire Speed Rating? Tire speed rating is a tire code that indicates a tire's maximum sustainable speed. Tires with high speed ratings typically have superior handlingat legal speeds. The set of tires on a vehicle should have the same speed ratings for optimal performance. However, if tires with different speed ratings are mounted on the car, the lower rated tires should be placed on the front. As shown in the graphic above, the tire speed rating is located to the right of the load index rating. The tire speed is listed on the sidewall using letters to represent different speeds. Below is a chart with common tire speed ratings.
