Ah, that other side. :-)

Don't worry, the 'T' tires didn't blow up instantly over 190. :-)
(Maybe they will in the movies)

Guess doing over 190 at high temperatures with full load for a long
period of time would not be advisable. But under light load at lowish
temperatures they should be OK for a while. But as I was not out to test
that theory and liked to be on the safe and legal side, I slowed down to
160, which suddenly seemed rather slow.

Nice! So far only spotted a few stationary ones on alfa days myself.
