I need to get a pair of cerbera front tyres in 225/35r18 which is the easy bit .. the tyres are then rated 87Y (87 fr the load, Y for speeds of 186mph) .. blackcircles only have the preferred goodyear eagle F1s in W speed rating which is only to 168mph and I'm not sure of the insurance implications of running a tyre rated to less than the top speed of the car.
Anyone come up against this already and found a Y rated goodyear eagle ? Mytyres have them but at an eye watering 206 pounds each!

Should it make a difference. Given the only time you might see that speed is track day / runway etc so would be specialist insurance any way. Would a insurance company payout if you crashed at that speed on normal roads? Should you survive or are you talking track day insurers?

the owner does do a bit of continental touring so it would be nice to have tyres rated at 180mph even if it only goes near there very occasionally ..

Interesting just looked at the Tyreleader link and they weren't listing the Goodyears so looked at the Toyo T1 Sports I've just got and they had a very cheap price but they are 2011 tyres the "new" ones were the same price as my tyres who supplied mine.
Be wary of old tyres.
