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 of a tire varies according to vehicle, and itâs important to choose a safe rating. Many vehicles provide a minimum required speed rating, which should be considered when buying tires since a lower speed rating can be potentially dangerous because itâs not made to withstand the same speeds. Please be careful when choosing a different speed rating than suggested by your vehicleâs manufacturer.
