Default Speed Limiter?

I'm sure this is somewhere in a post...somewhere...but I suck at searching. What's the speed limited to in a B5 A4 30v with the tip? And what can it get up to chipped without the limiter? I've gone 120mph and it was still going good, but those taillights started to come up fast, so I decided to slow down...a lot...

...once my car gets new shoes, I'm gonna have to top her out...stupid fronts are worn...oh well, it's just money, I can always make more. Thanks for the info, won't be the fastest I've been in a car, but will only be 8mph off if it does top out at 130...

How do you determine what speed your tires are rated for? I got my '03 A4 1.8T up to 110 and it felt a little loose. I decided to slow it down. I don't want a blowout at a speed like that.... that would definately suck.

it should say it on your tire. on it you should see a number like 225/40SR16. that letter where the S is is the key.

M= 81mph
N= 87mph
P= 93mph
Q=99mph
R=106mph
S=112mph
T=118mph
U=124mph
H=130mph
V=149mph
W=168mph
Y=186mph
Z= excess of 149mph
