I did once (W.O.T.) on I-10 in the middle of no where TX.

When I did slow down to the speed limit, it seemed like I was crawling.

I didn't realize we had so many Cooper "boosters" on
this list.  Anyway, with regard to the speed rating,
to get that rating the tire must prove to be able to
maintain that speed for a considerable period of time
(90 minutes, I believe) without any problems from the
speed.

In the past some have told me that they need higher
rated tires because they occasionlly go fater than
112.  But I doubt that anyone (including VB) has taken
their D past 112 for more than a VERY few minutes -
and certainly not 90 minutes.
