Speed rating is speed rating, dont worry about it.

Ummm.... if I drive an Evo, I'm definitely worrying about it! With a max speed rating of 99mph, you can top out 3rd gear and be close to exceeding your tires recommended top speed! Have you even been in car that's reached that point? NO BUENO!!!!

speed rating isnt the tires top speed, its the sustained speed it can handle. so unless you plan on maintaining over 100 mph for over 10 minutes strait, its not a concern.

I've made both my Toyo T1R's and my Winter Sport 3D's scream because of the speed I was at and had to quickly slow down to make them stop. Each time the speed was not sustained for more than 5 seconds, and there's no way I wanted to take them any further. Obviously it was different speeds for each tire, but it's not very comforting regardless.
To me, the speed rating is important and is there for a reason! A tire with a Q rating is not made the same as a tire with a V rating, so on and so forth.

Here in NJ we def get a good amount of snow, but unless it's a BAD storm, the streets are plowed in a day or so and you're back on asphalt for the most part. However, for the times I am stuck in snow, I want them to work and save my butt. I've had an amazing exeprience with my Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D's over the past 3 seasons, but I'm just checking to seew hat else is out there since this is probably the last season I'll be on them. I also had to ride on them during the summer because I blew out two summer tires and they were great considering they are a winter tire! Good to know they can handle emergency duty without issue.

3d's are more like an all season thats awesome in snow. i ran a set on my old subaru and drove on them year round, they wore great! they also handled better than the conti dws's that i replaced them with. that being said, they do give up some ice and snow traction compared to the "real" snows. but the "real" snows handle like ***. the xice x2i and extremewinter contact supposedly handle pretty good though. i have ws70's waiting to go on and i already know handling is going to be diabolical. snow traction should be awesome though.

Yep NOBODY on these forms has done anything illegal on the streets, especially gone over the speed limit 
. You can cry about integrity of the tires all you want but the fact is they are rated for a specific rate of speed and they have served their purpose quit well, Chinese or not.
And in all reality a quick sprint to 100+ on a 6-7 lane highway is hardly dangerous with no traffic. Thousands of people die everyday because of traffic accidents where no one was going over the speed limit. So it must be incredibly dumb to drive a car period.....
If you can prove the statistic stating how many accidents and deaths are caused each year from high speed driving ( 130-150mph) on 6-7 lane highways with Evolutions on snow tires I would love to see it. Not saying that I have done this frequently or think its safe to do because you have an awd car. Just saying..( kinda contradicted myself but whatevs lol)
And since when do you give a **** about other peoples safety?
But you can keep coming up with more cliche insults and being troll. I don't care. I have never been in a wreck, I rarely speed, I do have fun on occasion ( yes troll 90% of the time at MMP in utah).
I'm sure you don't have a single product from china
