I thought we did have a governor on our U.S. 9-5s...limiting our speed to about 130mph...Someone correct me if I am wrong.

"Because it is a car that can sustain speeds over 130+mph."
Does anyone really do this? Or even come close to doing this?

"It's all about traction."
A2s are very highly rated, even in comparison to tires with a higher speed rating, with regards to traction in varied conditions. If you don't plan on driving at speeds over 130mph, then an H-rated tire with a higher traction rating will exceed a V/Z/etc.-rated tire with a lower traction rating. A2s have a traction rating of "AA"--the highest rating there is...

While I agree with spending money to save lives, it is important to spend wisely...and drive carefully...
