What are our tires rated at? I consentantly drive about 80-90 mph to and from work... Should I be worring about tires blowing out...?

Daredevil,
How much do new tires run? Are they many hundreds of dollars? How long do the re92's usually last?
Thanks :-)

Our tires suck but I dont have any problem running 130 mph with no noise from the tires or mirrors. get some P-zero neros. awsome tire for the price.

My tires were expensive, but I have 17's. 16" tires aren't as bad. Check out www.americastire.com or www.tirerack.com

Check what the speed rating on the tire is. Every tire manufacturer uses the same speed rating, it's an industry standard. The stock RE92s are good up to 140 if I'm not mistaken. They should have a speed rating of 89H. Check around the tire's side wall, every tire has to have one. Even my dad's '92 Ford Ranger has the speed rating. There should be a tire warranty booklet in the case with all the warranty issue cards and the owner's manual. It gives the speed ratings for tires.
