249 km/h on a Civic? Not a stock one, obviously?

If you're doing any sort of high speed high performance driving, buy the best tires that you can. Helps if they're low profile, so the change in handling when you get a blow-out is not as big as with a high-profile tire.

I love my Advan Neovas. Expensive as f**k but they've never blown on me. I'll only realize I have a nail or a steel shard in one after a week's time, when the air runs 1 to 2 psi low. I've had to vulcanize my tires a dozen times already due to nails and debris that went all the way through the tire... but I've never had a single one go flat.

This is a good lesson sa mga kapwa natin drivers.....

broGhostHunter, baka naman pwede sticky thread ito, para madaling makita ng mga members at guests lalo na sa mga kabataan....na ang pagmamaneho sa pampublikong daan ay isang malaking responsabilidad....

TIA.
The guy driving the Subaru that crashed on EDSA was a racer.

"Professional" race car drivers (and I use this word loosely, because there's such a broad range of race classes to cover) are just people. Some of them are careful on the road, because they've worked out all their adrenaline and aggression on the track. Some of them can't quite scratch the need for speed.

As always... it's not the speed that kills. It's the sudden stop at the end. Having a blowout at high speed won't kill you. (And I've seen blowouts at 140-160 km/h) But if you're maneuvering recklessly at the same time, don't know how to handle the car, or are speeding around slower moving traffic, you're definitely going to be in trouble when it happens.
