I'd like to race in Nebraska's Sandhill Open Road Challenge next year. My tires are "S" speed rated (112 mph). You have to have, at least, a "U" rated tire(120 mph). Does anyone know of any tire for a 15" wheel that I can get that is "U" rated or more?
 
I'll look it up tonight. Did a search a few months ago and I think there are two
 
And the answer. Pirelli Scorpion Zero's or Kumho Ecstra's. Both have a v rating and available in 255/60r15.

I can't locate those two tires on the internet. Any more info. you can get me as to where to buy these puppies would really be appreciated. Seems like all these "road races" at 120 mph or more want a U or better tire. I could go new wheels but that is more cost and it doesn't look stock any more either but I may have to do that if I can't buy U or better tires in my 255 60 R15 seize. Thanks
 
Looks like the Pirelli's are not available anymore, the Kumho's are still available on some europe sites.

Greetings Peter
