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.
Itâs your tire speed rating, or, to be more accurate, your tireâs performance rating. People refer to that last letter of the tire size on the sidewall of your tires as âtire speed ratingââthe maximum speed a tire can sustain for a certain period of time without risk of tire failure. But itâs not just about speed.
