Front Skinnies for a 20x5 wheel (speed rating discussion)

[7GHellboy]

Hi, what tires can I use as front skinnies for a 20x5 wheel with ET -23?

The only ones I’ve found are the Bridgestone Ecopia, but their speed rating is T (119 mph), and I’m currently seeing trap speeds of 140+ mph.

Based on your experience, would this be a risk?

Guys use a radial tire like that all the time. Remember the speed rating is what the tire is rated to run at for 10 minutes, 10 seconds + slowdown won't hurt it.
