Patrick, you're the tire man, so I'll ask ya this..
I run a set of General Grabber A/T's... is 120mph too
fast for them? Can you explain how the rating systems
works? i.e. rated by top speed intermitant or
continuous? What does the industry mean by
continuous?

BTW.. a noisy tire is the aforementioned AT the
aforementioned 120 =)
