Most accidents do have speed as a factor, but it's usually just one part of the cause and not the actual trigger. It's when someone is drunk and speeding, or texting and speeding that avoidable collisions occur...also weather. Street racing crowds aren't helping the cause either. Roads can be built to permit unlimited speeds, but then again, moving violations are a huge money maker.
Most of those cheap tires for passanger cars are S-Rated (112 mph) or higher. I would really watch out for the guys full sized pick-up, especially in Texas where it seems everybody has one. Not something that's in abundance on the Autobahn. You also reduce that speed rating if the tire ever had a puncture and was repaired.
