No, I haven't done this yet. I do like my car, and I love my life.
I will limit my top speed to 112 for now

Oh well by now you all think I am a dumb ass, so here it goes. Part of the reason I was asking this was to just know what fails in the tire first or maybe the speed rating is there to show that the tire can't control the car at those speeds. I mean each one of us has gone over the legal speed limit at one point or another(everyone is still ok), and if you don't know but any limit on the street actually no on special sections of highways such as sharp exits and turns ( I forget the actual #) is 20%-30% lower than the speed at which you will start loosing control, so I there is a safety margin on the tire as a part of it's certification program, so it would be nice to know what it is.

BTW I am 95% sure that all the highway speed limits are there as a result of oil crisis of the 70s

One more thing for all you BANME! bashers, at leat give me credit that I actually looked at what my tire rating is, if I was really that dumb I would go for top speed the first day I got the car. I on the other hand just go about fixing it and loving it, with a hope that it will love my back.

Now I will end my philosophical thought and go change my inner tie rod, and ATF
