Most vehicles these days are electronically speed limited though; some people get around that restriction by using larger tires. A larger tire makes less revolutions to go a given speed, so it makes the speedometer read lower than it would normally. So if the speed is electronically limited through the engine control unit, that's one way around it. Also if the top speed is gear limited (meaning the engine is at the redline at top speed), larger tires can be a way past it too without having to modify the transmission.
