Make sure your tires are good for whatever speed your car can do,
plus a margin of safety. In earlier years, Ford limited the speed
of some Mustangs because the factory installed low-speed tires.

{Since the W-rated tires currently on my bone-stock '98 GT are
rated for 168 MPH, I'm relatively safe. :-) }
