I might be able to hit 120 in the Elky if I was being chased by someone with a gun. It would be a scary ride for sure. I don't think I have ever hit 90 in the Elky. It just does not like going much faster than 75.

Yup, but given that the speed rating is for a regular load for x amount of time I didn't worry much. But as they age they don't have the same integrity.
The BFG were terrible in the wet on that car. The Goodyears were awesome in the wet, but they were a race tire so that would be expected. The Mickey Thompson are actually pretty good in the wet.
