  > Rick and List---what speed rating put on them?

  Sparky
  The 500 X 5 tires are rated at 300 MPH with 1000 pounds of load.
  (published info from GY)
  HOWEVER
  I have heard reports of some chunking on a number of cars of varying weights
  and speeds.

  I think those are the same tires that  Lloyd Healey thought were "chunking"
at about 200 on his electric streamliner. The tires were actually  "growing"
into the body work. I don't remember how much clearance he had.
