I've had 3 different rear tyres, 165/65-15, 215/35-16 and the current 175/65 R15. Still the car refuses to go faster than 90mph ( 145 km/h). It can show engine load of 70% momentarily at the top speed, but won't go faster than 90 mph.

Also the ESP can't be turned off. They really learned something from the moose tests.
