A report in Top Gear magazine tells about two people being killed on
the Silver State Classic race because they used “road tyres” which
blew out at 170mph on a Testarossa, a Mustang blowing a tyre at 170
and a Pantera blowing a tyre after hitting a kink in the asphalt at
165.  This left me wondering how safe our “road tyres” are.  Are the Z
rated tyres on various Audis really safe or are they liable to pop at
150?
