Technically, they are a truck tire. They are cheap and as far as over the counter tires in 295/50/15 (for the rear) they are one of the few in that size and are one of the better. They just aren't a good fit having 550 pounds on them in the front. I think there was an Advan in that size that had better grip but those aren't made. I needed a speed rated tire anyway. Last time I cleared the cobwebs it was at 145 and pulling strong. With the local Shelby club they have track days at Road America and Blackhawk Farms. At RA there are three sections that are mostly straight and a mile long so I am sure it will get going faster than the 112 the BFG is rated for.
