tires are only one of many variables.

higher speed limiter is also based on, but not limited to:

1. engine (power, size, torque curve, ...)
2. supporting devices to cool the engine (i.e. oil cooler, inter-cooler, engine coolant, ...)
3. transmission
4a. if AT, supporting devices to cool the AT transmission (transmission fluid, ...)
4b. if MT, clutch & flywheel
5. aerodynamics of the car

I find this comment confusing, isn't the existence of a higher speed limiter based upon the tires on the car?
