Exactly, I've had cars that could climb past 130 easily, but today was the first day I really put that to the test. The tires I'm opting for next are going to be the Yokohama Geolandar G015. They're H rated all terrains. Not terribly expensive either. https://www.yokohamatire.com/tires/geolandar-a-t-g015I know it seems counter-intuitive to concern ourselves about top speed in a truck, I'd say the current Ranger is an exception. I've replaced a sedan with mine though I felt I needed the bed and towing capability. The motor/transmission provides a lot to work with in spite of aerodynamics, and I'm thinking some H-rated tires will be in my future. Disabling the speed limiter made me realize how very easy it is to 'get up there.' I can't rationalize when i'd need to, but having the safety margin of tires that can handle it seems... prudent.
Also, I've read that if we're frequently doing high speed runs (on closed tracks, of course), it's best to invest in a driveshaft loop. I haven't yet, personally, but I will now knowing that it can easily climb past 120. Just a cheap insurance policy to prevent losing a drive shaft at high speed. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/...MI-pGii8f86QIVGEmGCh2OYQrmEAQYAiABEgIcHPD_BwE
