on the one hand, I agree, and it's always scary to see this rationale.

on the other hand, it looks like they are just limiting the speed based on the rating of the stock tires. as long as there's a straightforward (and legal) way to increase/remove the limit when you upgrade the tires, I'm not sure I have a huge problem with it.

I'm not convinced how many tracks will run into this limit, at least on the "lower end" Volvos. My understanding is that tracking is not about high speed, but instead handling.
I've gone over 112mph on every track I've been to, despite handling being important.
I guess that means I've underestimated straight length on the average track. Fair enough
