wow! did'nt think you can push winter tyres that fast. I'm on winters too and recently drove on the autobahn to hamburg late dec/jan. conditions was cold, snowy and some part icy so only hit 160km at best. Dont think i would have pushed it beyond this even if it was dry, but now that i've seen this

looking at your pictures i think we have the same winter tyres, can't remember what brand though.

bing

so these are good upto 260kpm ?? Hey, maybe i can look you up next time i'm in hamburg.. i'm guessing you're only 1hr away. May drive there in summer but this time with summer wheels on, evo II's and we can put our beasts side by side.. you name the autobahn !

Maybe i was not clear- tyres with index V- till 240 km/h.
Will be my pleasure to run and chat, let me know when

Very enjoyable! Doesn't the car pull nicely from 160kph? FWIW, its still a risk for tire failure at the the top limit of a tire's rating. Racing organizations set the safety limit at 10% less than a tire's rating, including its weight rating (which isn't an issue with our cars) AND higher tire pressure is necessary to prevent the build-up of heat generated by air compression within the tire at sustained high rpm's.

Thx
1. I do not drive always that fast- it´s just not possible even in Germany, would be much too expensive and also quite exhausting for an old car. But sometimes- why not
2. 240 kph seen on speedo are 228-230 kph on GPS. So there are at least another 10kmh "in".
3. I always have my tyre pressure on max.- now 2,8 bar.
4.Yes, it pulls nicely from 160 kph, but i hope you noticed - it was done on 4th gear, without kick-down
So each time i do this i have to smile and remind myself about 480Nm torque
