Re: [MBZ] speed ratings of tires

I have Cientra tires on my 300D, they are an speed rating S and load rating 90 tire, made in Mexico by BF Goodrich. They were cheap, but actually have better snow performance than the Michelin X1 tires I had before these (had to replace them because the bands were separating). I don't think I've
