What's the deal with Max Speed Calibration

[trez63]

So I got my build sheet today finally and it says: "97 mph Vehicle Max Speed Calibration"

My truck is a Rubicon with stock wheels and Falken LT285/70R17C BSW A/T tires. I was under the impression that the 97mph was due to mud terrain and that A/T tires would be set to 110mph max.

What gives?

Before you ask. Yes. I do go down some very open roads and regularly hit 100+ mph and even though I'm not likely to need it on the JT, I still figured 110 was possible. Does this mean that there's a limiter at 97 that I won't be able to cross?

According to the order guide all Rubicons get the JJ2 97 mph calibration

Tires aren't rated for speeds above the limiter.

well the M/Ts are not but the A/Ts should be but like I said according to the order guide it doesn't matter

The speed/rev limiters have been around a long time. I had a ‘94 Caprice company car that limited out at 108.

probably vehicle stability related. Best way to insure the rubber stays on the road is to limit the speed.
