    They are rated safe to that speed, If you plan on High Speeds, Get Tires rate for High Speed.
    More Expensive and More Testing, better quality.

    Generally it's an issue of heat build up in the tire. The faster you drive the hotter the tire can get, so high-speed tires need to have compounds that can better withstand the additional heat. Manufacturer's rate their tires for a mximum speed using a letter designation.

    Is this a Test or are you buying tires?
