  Dear Anthony,
   
  Grand Sport which has a 150 Average goal speed but I tech for Super Sport which has a top speed of 180 MPH so I have to have to have tires that will pass tech for 180.
   
  Thanks

  Hi Anthony,
   
  I open road race at Silver State, pony Express & La Carrera open road races with my '72 De Tomaso Pantera currently using BFG KDW 2's whcich even though they are Z speed rated have the higher Y (186 MPH) speed rating. 
   
  And  several dot race tires like BFG, Hoosier and Michelin have also been tested in excess of of 149 up to 200 MPH.....just curious if NITTO ever did any endurance road testing at higher speeds then 149 yet?
   
  Check out the TPR website

  Thanks,
