I can understand the speed limiter...Summer tires have higher speed rating than All-seasons so at least there's a direct explanation to that one.

With the brakes, I have no idea...tires have nothing to do with fitting a brake caliper given they're mounted on the same diameter and offset wheels (can get them with 18" summer tires). I guess they associated the bigger brakes with higher speeds, but considering they don't require them with summer tires, that's a thin argument for not taking my money!

BTW - Sweet ride you've ordered there!
