Hey, Steve is an honest guy! When I done the 186 MPH, my speedometer said a hair past 180 MPH. I used a web site - Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com to compensate for running 285/35/19's on the back. If you enter the sizes of the tires to compare the 255/35/19 against a 285/35/19 it say's at 60 MPH you will actually be doing 62 MPH. That is where I came up with the 186 MPH.
