Driving over 100MPH with N555R's ?

Like the post says how fast can you drive with the n555r's? I need the traction on the street to stop the tire spin but i do like to drive the car fast out on the highway. Is this safe and what are your experiances.

V rated: 149MPH. I would hope any drag radial would be safe at least to 100MPH.

I only put about 4000 Km's(1500 miles) a year on the car. But i do go to the track and car shows about 1 hour away. I guess what I wanted to know is will they adversley affect the handling?

They should be good for the speed rating on the tire.
