What tires will you run that have been tested for 220? Curious.

These are all speedo speeds,

360kmh = 223mph, this was in the Blue R turbo. You know your going fast when the speedo hits 345kmh, then "re-starts" at 0 and then begins to climb again.

211mph in our R turbo, but the speedo is woefully inaccurate, probably 195 or so.

345kmh(213mph) in the CTR, pretty accurate I would say, the car was really pushing, and above 300kmh it is not stable, also when i was around 290kmh i overtook a Dutch caravan doing 50kmh in the slow lane

270kmh(167) in my Alpina B8 nearly everyday on my way to work.

all the best

Just a little over 160 for me on the back straight at Sebring. I'm looking forward to Raod America where the straights seem to never end.

In 2001 I did 153mph in a 1994 Infiniti Q45a, while racing a red 996 Cab on the Skyway in Chicago at 5:30am on my way back from Le Pasage while listening to DJ Markski (For those of you who live in Chicago). I was on my way through the North West Suburbs of Indiana and the highway was clear. The 996 was obviously pulling away from me slowly, I would imagine he was at 155 or so.

The funny part about this is that he was an older man that looked just like Jerry Springer and he ended up exiting in Munster Indiana (Where Jerry Springer lives). It actually felt so smooth that you could barely tell! That car could handle high speeds so smoothly!

Anyway, since then I have not found a highway open enough to go faster than that in Los Angeles but I have hit 148 in my Boxster with no problems, could have gone faster though but came up on some cars and didn't want to push my luck.
