Ha, ha. No. Those would be "V" speed-rated tires. Super expensive! The hard sidewalls let you corner at speed and jump curbs, but the tread wears out in half the time of a T-rated "passenger" tire. It's just incredible how expensive tires are; I shudder to think what they'll cost when oil shoots up.

This past week was like a crash course in tires, no pun intended. They come with speed ratings like T, H and V. There are summer, winter, all-season, passenger, touring, grand touring, ultra grand touring, performance, high performance, ultra high performance tires... You have to decipher the codes, then find out how a tire performs on your particular car. The Tire Rack and the crownvic.net forums are good resources about tires and the panther platform cars, respectively.
