This is something I've been wondering about - the W and Y rated tires.  The 
rulebook has no mention of anything above Z rating, but it says that Z 
rated tires are good to 200mph.  Now the W and Y rated tires are rated by 
the makers for higher speeds than Z rated tires, but does that mean one 
would be able to use them above 200mph at Bonneville?
