I see all the tires that are being used, but I never see any SPEED RATING FOR THEM. What speed rating is recommended for car tire swap. The VTX1800C 2003 tires Have a ZR rating ( Z 149mph) this changes the cost of any tire you would buy by quit a bit!! I'm not a speed freak ! but I do push 125 MPH ALOT!!! ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM

Just a thought ?????

OEM Dunlops for the C are H rated for 130 mph, and the well proven, highly praised CT, Michelin HE is only T rated, 118

speed rating for Darkside tires? Empty rating W

I run a Michelin Primacy HP speed rating W. Tread wear rating is only 240, but with 4000 miles on this tire I still see no visual wear. Another plus with CT is the weight rating of 1300 -1500 lbs, thats up from the 983 lbs my metzler was rated.
