Hey, Joe, all...this is interesting regarding ZR tires. Are bike tires rated
the same way as auto tires...ie, is a ZR time the same as a Z R tire for a
car? Like over 149 mph? The car rules was changed thics coming year that
says somewhat that Z rated tires cannot be used for any vehicle for speed
more than 200 mph. Does that apply to bike tires also?
mayf
