Electronic Speed Limiter???

It must have been a pretty big snow drift if you had to get up to that speed?? I believe Yukons and Tahoes have had the same speed limiter since

Yeah, it has a built in speed limiter so crazy bastards like yourself don't kill yourself or others on the road when traveling at speeds the vehicle was NOT designed to handle. Check the speed rating on your tires. I bet they're NOT rated for 100mph; you're lucky the tread didn't seperate and kill everyone in the vehicle.

Oh puhlease!

I disagree. I think they should take out speed limiters, rev limiters, etc. Just think of it as very effective contraception.....

Actually I don't see any speed rating on them. Does that mean they are unsafe at any speed? They are ProComp AT's.Where I live 100 is commute traffic speed. And I'm not a bastard, crazy maybe but not a bastard. By the way I was in the middle of nowhere on a 75 mph freeway. The tires are great in everything from 4 lo in the snow off road to 104 mph high so far. They wear like iron too. I highly recommend them over those French BFG TA's. Which, by the way, I hear run best in reverse!

According to ProComp they are R rated which is 106 MAX mph. I would say your limiter is doing a good job

See Doc? You can relax now, I wasn't about to kill anybody! Thanks Steve for the info, where did you find it?

But if I am not mistaken, it isn't that a tire instantly discombobulates at max speed, but rather 'extended' times at that speed will cause it to fail. Whatever "extended" is....

Sounds like he needs like a Y rating (something around 130 I think) and a chip. Good luck on killin yourself! Remember not to overpopulate my world if you don't succeed...

You've misunderstood. While I disagree with driving anything that fast on anything other than the track, SUV's are especially unstable at those speeds due to the high center of gravity. If you ever had to make an emergency manouver you'd roll and die, where if you were in a sports car designed to go that fast you might just squeal the tires a bit.

I'm not a prude, just very aware of my vehicles' limitations.

Wrong person to respond too, I really don't care what 'cha do. Just pointing out flaws in both of your arguments...
