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.
The speed rating is described on the tire sidewall. Many tire manufacturers currently include the speed symbol in the tire size description. Example: P225/70 H R15 Speed Symbol. In this example the H indicates that the tire is capable of sustained speeds up to 130 MPH.ires certified for Z speed ratings (top speeds over 149 MPH) will continue to be identified by including the speed symbol in the size designation since the top speed for a Z rated tire is determined in accordance with the manufacturer's vehicle specifications.
