It sounds like you're talking about the tire speed rating... there's some information on that near the bottom of this page: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=35

I believe I have T-rated (118 mph) tires on both cars at the moment. My Integra's performance summer tires are V-rated (149 mph), and my race tires are W-rated (168 mph). It's really a rating of what speed the tire is designed to handle for an indefinite amount of time... you can usually get away with exceeding the rating for a short amount of time, but blow-outs at those speeds aren't fun, so I wouldn't recommend it.

I have W rated tires, 168 mph.... I don't think i'll be going any faster than 140 anyway :-/!
