I'm glad you brought this point up .
No , truck tires generally are not at all meant for speeds over whatever
the manufacturer has set , but in some cases , such as on the R/T , I think
you could go at least a bit higher .
Now mind you that I am not a tire engineer , but I think it just takes a
little common sense . Something that is lacking in society today .
That's what happens when everyone wants the government to take care of
everything for them , they get stupid really really quick .
