An interesting statement .
The fastest of the fast on land run on aluminum tires/wheels .
I watched at Daytona as a rider blew a rear tire in the Tri-oval . He managed to keep the bike upright even though he was doing somewhere in the area of 120-130 MPH while turning .
Losing a tire at 250 MPH on an automobile would likely destroy most of the corner of the vehicle that it was once mounted onto . Not exactly something that any sane person would want , particularly on the street .
Even motorcycle manufacturers install rev limiters that keep their street machines to under 200 MPH .
