[Chrysler300] Tire speed and load ratings

[Rich Barber <barber@xxxxxxxxx>]

Pete:

So, did you get an adjustment or a lecture?

See the following site for a good summary of speed and load ratings:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/general/speed.jsp

I guess I need tires speed rated at "H" for my C-300 in order for it to 
run safely at 128 mph.  My 15 year-old Remington L-78's do not appear to 
be speed rated, but do have traction, temperature, treadwear and load 
ratings.

With steering wheel slop, it's fairly exciting at 1/2 of that.  Probably 
levels out north of 120.
