Bummer for track folks.
It's easy to get a new set of rubber that has a speed rating higher than what the factory provided; It's a lot more difficult for a layman to flash out a speed limit.
It's a shame that less and less companies are producing products that take into account that perhaps the potential buyer might actually know better.
