Tire Speed Rating Question
I'm posting this here because the speed rating of a tire seems to me to cross all lines/types of vehicles. Reading up on warranty issues/questions just now, I came across the following language ...

I'm following pretty well, but...
I'm still unclear about the practical effect of "speed derating" due to a puncture. Clearly, the tire's O.K. to go back on the road or Bridgestone wouldn't allow it to be repaired at all, right?
But what's its top speed? Is there a minimum speed rating that ALL P's or LT's must meet in order to be "legal", and does it just drop back to that?
I'm also still unclear as to effect on warranty, if any. Nothin' in there about one puncture wiping it out but I guess that wouldn't be any big surprise!
