I suggest you add a note that the RR part is only true below 50 mph and explain what happens to RR at higher speeds.

What causes increased RR at higher speeds? Is it due to more heat buildup from tire deflection at such high rpms?
And I noticed you excluded other tires such as truck tires. The main difference coming to mind is the thicker sidewalls and tread of a truck tire vs a passenger vehicle.
