id be funny if they put a 85mph limit on areas they know are congested 24/7...actual max speed 5mph.

That's what I average most of the time on the highway during rush hour.

Actually W and Y are higher ratings than Z, although W/Y's sometimes have Z's on them anyways. Read up at the bottom of this: Tire Tech Information - How to Read Speed Rating, Load Index & Service Descriptions

Yeah I agree with what you posted. I saw that same article & the figures I put for the W & Y match up to the articles figures. Well if you stop & look at all high end sports cars & non high end sports cars they all have the Z rated tires, so that in itself should say something. Since your basically saying that the W & Y have higher ratings that they are better. Why doesn't Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Aston Martin & etc have the W or Z rated tires then? I am going to go on a limb here and say that the Z rated tires can basically withstand whatever speed the car can produce (more or less) & you are going to pay more for Z rated tires.

If I lived in any of these mega cities I would always take the train if I could...Fighting through that traffic and all that bumper-to-bumper waiting is more than I can take..not to mention trying to find a parking space..

I assume that this speed, on this stretch of highway, is the "85th percentile" so accidents will not go up rapidly.
