New tires for my 2008 Nissan Titan?

[UncleDave]

I found a set of take off wheels and tires from a 2018 that were 90% fresh for a grand.

Curious as to why my 2008 Nissan Titan has a recommended Tire speed rating of "H"= 130mph. ?

Might be capable of speeds not far below that. The Titan has a monster of an engine. I don’t doubt that it would be able to hit 130 if its gearing will let it.

My Tacoma is electronically limited to 108 mph, but the wife’s 4Runner (an even heavier truck) will hit nearly 120 mph (118, I think it was).

So, you’d want a tire that has some safety margin built in, with regard to speed.

No clue as the limiter cuts it out at like 114 - I did that once since 04.

I've been around 140 in a lowered supercharged stillen titan though - it was totally phat with huge brakes.
Of course it had computer work done.
