Where in FMVSS regulations did you find the statement on speed ratings that you quoted?


Yes NHTSA does have "high Speed" tests but the duration is short and I cannot find different test procedures for L, M, S, T H etc speed ratings in their requirements.


Your quote might be from SAE but they are not a regulatory agency as DOT is. Also SAE specifically states that their speed ratings are intended for passenger car tires only.

That's from a long NHTSA interpretation file.

Everything the tire manufacturer puts on the tire sidewall must be reported and accounted for in documentations before they can put the DOT on there.
