- The speed capabilities I remember off the top of my head are S, 110
- MPH; T, 118 MPH; H, 130 MPH; V, 150 MPH; Z, above 150 MPH. Don't know
- about heat, but it would seem any V or Z rated tire should have a UTQG
- temperature rating of A (best possible).

- See the FAQ for more specifics. Or call one of the tire stores
- advertised in the car buff magazines.
