    15x3.5 tire question

    Ok what are you guys running? I was just going to run a 165r15 or a 165/80/15 but am wondering if i use something different. I know people are running in the 135+ mph range but tech they are speed rated to 118. I trap that now i was ok with it on my told car since it trapped 109 but on spray i trap that now. I mean you only see the mph for a brief sec but with az factors for heat etc i'm kind of lost on what to do. Other option was spending 2x as much and running mt sportmans(want to stay dot legal)

    I'm running 120+ with cheapo 165R15s.For the brief amount of time you're going that fast,it shouldn't be an issue.(I also run them at 44psi on the street,and 55 at the track).
