Brittney Spears played. That's why I stick with Z rated or better.

Were you experiencing some sort of speed barrier?
From your video, I have "H" rated snowtires and I can easily out accelerate you right to my top speed.
 
EDIT: (to be uptight and politically correct...)

Please reproduce this featured high speed action movie without your super cool choice of Pop music. This way, some of us people here can listen to your engine or exhaust to see if we can tell what is stopping your vehicle from achieving 100mph. (Which is approx 160km/h. I'm saying this to not offend other Canadian folks by myself by using american only units of speed.)

(braindead)

But in all seriousness it might be a part you added that you think is doing good, (ex: exhaust if it's cheap) which is actually preventing you from going that fast. It has absolutely nothing to do with the tires.

Make another one without the ********** and maybe we can hear your engine or something... that might help a bit.

Edit your post... there is no reason for that crap.
 
So you're cruising along a two lane road at 100mph with one hand on the wheel and the other hand holding a camera? Not the brightest crayon in the box...

He tries to go over a hundred mph, but all of a sudden his Rpm drop and hit some kind of speed barrier. I know its kinda hard to tell with that retarded music distacting you.
 
wow who really gives a s*** about wtf he's listening to...did he ask for opinions on his taste in music? NO....so stfu about it.

BTW: Taking it to the dealer & telling them the problem probably wouldn't be the greatest idea... "Every time I try to go over 100mph it wont let me"..... LOL just a thought :D
 
The rating on the tires is purely a measure of their heat dissipation ability... if you overheat the tires they can rupture, fatigue, and fail. Also it indicates a degree of strength and balanced associated with the tires so they can withstand the rpm's they go through at those speeds... H-ratings will not in any way affect how fast you can or can't go.. why you hit a wall like that I don't now... but it is not the rating of the tires that caused it... the tread may be so coarse or the like that it increased your drag to a point that the motor can't overcome... and once you went into fifth gear the multiplier was such that the motor couldn't overcome the forces etc... so it's another issue.

EDIT: Fixed spelling... coarse was course

for some reason when he gets too about 100 mph his rpms drop off & he cannot get to a higher speed & wants to know why...

He/she can't get over 100mph and he/she's blaming his/her tires for it... (hand) And people are saying his/her music sux like and other poeple are complaining about that.

BTW... how the hell can you even drive fast with music like that??? It doesn't make sense.... maybe at least some kind of upbeat music but this is slooooww...

Oh.. and my stock protege does easily over that speed with whatever crap all-season budget tires I have on.... so it's not tires.
 
ok im guessing the reason he stopped at or around 100 mph.. with out watching .... is a rev limiter?! maybe... whats goin on with tires.?.. unless they are blowing up ....your H rateas arent preventing you from going fast.... am i missing something here?

i didnt watch the vid. didnt sound like i should...
 
The rpm dropoff wouldnt have anything to do with the tires, go z rated it will still happen. IS the governer set that low?
 
i think he thinks the tires are the problem for some reason. cant tell you how that corolation was made though (dunno)
