The MD80-tires I fly on (SK) has a max. groundspeed of 195 kts. As I understand the Spanairflight only carried approx. 50 pax and with a "normal" landingfuel of some 3-4 tons (at the most) the Vref should have been somewhere in the neighbourhood of 130 kts, so even landing with an above limit tailwind of 15 kts shouldn`t give a problem with regard to max. certified tirespeed.
Spanair might use some other kind of tires, though ??? Glad everybody got away o.k.
