[TPR] Tires for 200 Mph?

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Quoting our good buddy Charlie Friend:

"Tires. Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s.  Front 275/35ZR18   rear  335/30ZR18
Purchased in Feb '12. Were on their second (last) year of ORR use.
Have been using the PS2s since '07 with no problems."

So there you have it; you want to go 200 MPH, those are the tire you
get.  Just be cautious right around 186 MPH, you might want to skip that
and go directly to 187 MPH from 185 MPH.
