By 1915, absinthe had been banned in the United States and in much of Europe, including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Austria-Hungary. Although absinthe was vilified, it has not been demonstrated to be any more dangerous than ordinary spirits.
During one of our recent performance rating tests on hard braking in an emergency situation, a lower âSâ rated tire driving 100 kilometres per hour was still going almost 25 km/hr when the higher âVâ rated tire stopped. The âSâ rated tire took 39 metres to stop. The âVâ rated tire stopped in 35 metres.
Tyre Speed Rating. The speed rating of a tyre is displayed on the sidewall. Like in the image, you will find it at the end of the tyre's size. It is always represented by a letter-in the following example the tyre speed rating is W.Once you know your tyre speed rating, you can work out what is the maximum speed your tyre is capable of maintaining. For example, the W rating seen in the image, tells us that this tyre can reach speeds of up to 168mph.Speed ratings are based on tests in which engineers run the tyre at 6.2 mph steps, in 10 minute increments, until the required speed has been met.or example, the W rating seen in the image, tells us that this tyre can reach speeds of up to 168mph.
