The new set I just got from TireRack are V-rated. Can't wait to get them on
the car. My old set were FireStones! uggggggggggg!!!!!

I recently was searching through tirerack.com browsing for tires that
fit the size of the DeLorean. I came across the Yokohama AVS
Intermediate which we all know are the best tires currently available in
the stock sizes. But what I noticed was a speed rating on the 195/60 14
and 235/60 15 was "V" (149 mph). I always thought that they were "H"
(130 mph). Does anyone who has recently purchased these tires care to
say what the speed rating on their side wall is? I know that a stock
DeLorean can't really get above 130, but modified ones can. So this
just makes me curious and I'm sure owners of Turbo'ed and engine swapped
D's would like this too.
