Kumho (www.kumhousa.com) promotes their Ecsta tires as touring tires ("long driving") with speed rating "H":
S 180km/h or 112mph T 190km/h or 118mph U 200km/h or 125mph H 210km/h or 130mph V 240km/h or 149mph W(ZR) 270km/h or 168mph Y(ZR) 300km/h or 186mph ZR Above 300km/h or 186mph If your proposed spec. fits, enjoy. I've been impressed by the "cruisability" of my Mustang -- 65MPH at 2000RPM all the live long day if I want. The top posted U.S. speed limit I've heard looks like 75MPH. If you give that some customary social space, you've got about 80 whatever in a vehicle that I'm guessing could gallop comfortably across, say, Nebraska at 105MPH if the laws and the law were willing. (Anyone know the 5250RPM red line speed on the V6)? Counterpoint: nationalism. If anyone has a tire engineering or manufacturing rationale for preferring a U.S. competitor's tire in the same class, that might make for an interesting discussion. Thumbs up here on Kumho touring tires. --Jim
