My '91 200q does not have this warning, but the car may have been delivered with VR tires. When I bought it, it had ZR tires on it, so this wouldn't matter. >>The one page supplement to my owner's manual says the car may have been >>equipped with Goodyear Eagle GA or Invcta GAL tires, designation 215/60 R 15 >>93V.

Anyone see what's wrong with this page!? >>:) I guess it's kinda like the Bentley factory manual electrical diagrams and >>documenting what they sold! I remember writing this. I chuckled about it then, and again now--afterall, a V rated tire can go beyond 130mph. It's just like the 130mph dash warning a sticker in my folk's '92 100s--I don't know why since the car is electronically limited to 130mph--Audi logic at work again? --linus ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * linus toy email: linust@interramp.com * * * * "...it's stuff that does things people want, but they don't know * * how it works.
