Just say no to Pirelli street tyres eh? Seems they have not embraced the benefits of silica compounds that gives lower rolling-resistance, more grip AND higher durability.

One note about speed-ratings. It’s a measure of tyre’s ability to tolerate load and heat. Rating is maximum continuous speed (at maximum load) where tyre can shed heat as fast as it builds it. Thus achieving balance that can be sustained indefinitely. There's criss-cross function where less-than-max loaded tyre can handle more speed and vice-versa. I don’t plan on holding more than 80-mph for long periods of time on my commutes, so any tyre with higher speed rating than that is fine.
