The workaround for this is to bring the wheels in unmounted on the vehicle. (I had to do this when shopping for tires for a car that would run 140mph in good shape, but was no longer capable of hitting 100mph. Very expensive, very delicate. The high speed rating is generally due to a very lightly constructed carcass to keep excessive heat from being generated from flexing.)<br /><br />This now also applies if you are putting oversize tires on. This might only apply to tire retailers as a business matter. Some idiot lawyer lost a case about oversize tires causing a multi-million dollar crash, so you have to do the same workaround to get your preferred sizes on.<br /><br />BTW, undersize tires are a federal no-no to mount.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-75806486317783677082018-12-03T20:50:21.397-07:002018-12-03T20:50:21.397-07:00I think the snow tires for the Jeep are Bridgeston...I think the snow tires for the Jeep are Bridgestone Blizzaks. The Jaguar has Michelin X-Ices. Both provide spectacular snow and ice grip, with only tolerable noise. The X-Ices are also high-speed rated, for when driving 100 mph on icy roads!Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-18550027930781346472018-12-03T08:36:56.665-07:002018-12-03T08:36:56.665-07:00FWIW, I keep Hangkook Dynatrack AT tires on my 4x4...FWIW, I keep Hangkook Dynatrack AT tires on my 4x4 Expedition all the time...They are terrific in snow and ice (I used to live in Ottawa, Ontario...we got snow and ice there), very good on dirt, quiet on the road, and I got about 50,000 miles from the first set.<br /><br />Highly recommended....Fidelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623013337654868540noreply@blogger.com
