Stage 2+ S3
« on: May 25, 2012, 02:07:05 pm »
Do I buy Y or Z rated tyres??

When I bought her she had conti sport contact 2's Y rating at the rear & conti sport contact 3's Z rating at the front.

I only really need 2 at the rear, so what should I plump for??

Why does Z rating mean 150+ and Y up to 186???

150+ could mean good for 10000mph.  :confused:

If its stage 2+ and your planning on maxing it on a german autobahn then you will likely need the Y rated tyres  :happy2:

So the bottom line is that Y rating are better for speed than Z rating???

Assuming 7k rpm in top x 27 mph/1000 rpm = 189 mph in theory.  :evilgrin:

I don't want to be a passenger if that's alright.  :scared:

 :signLOL:  I haven't done it yet, but I'm hoping to attend the next 30-130 day where you can reach your terminal speed.

If Y rating is the highest and only good for 186 mph what do the 200+ super cars use???
