Back when I had 195/50-15 Pirelli P-Zeros (hoo-boy, fun on the twisties), I zipped past a few troopers at an indicated 82-84mph on the section of the NYS Thruway between Albany and Kingston. I estimated that the tire circumference was around 5% of the stock 60-profile, and that I squeezed by at ~79mph.
I think you're right that running in a pack is safer. My experience is that there are lots of cars going well above 75, and the troopers are waiting for somebody to go 15 or 20 or more over the limit. I'd bet they don't have to wait very long.
Thanks for the insight. I haven't bs'd with any troopers for a while now- they used to give everyone 15 when the limits were 55 on the interstates.
