I just picked up the Porsche prefferred tires brochure that was referred to earlier in this thread. I read an interesting note on the back, to the effect that:
Tires will lose their speed rating after they have been plugged or repaired.
Of course, it makes sense, but I hadn't thought about it until then. I have a small hole plugged up in one of my Michelin Pilots. This is a good reminder not to go totally nuts on the speed now. I just thought I would post it here, too, because I know there are several folks who occasionally wander on the high side of the 100mph mark. If I had time on the track, I would certainly see that I had tires in top health. But on the freeway with the occasional zoom rush I know we tend to forget things like this.
