Tire Speed Ratings
#1
#2
For drag racing I wouldn't get too worried about speed ratings because you would only be exceeding the rating for a matter of seconds, but for extended periods of high speed driving I'd want to have the proper speed rating. Just my opinion, I'm not an expert on racing or passenger/LT tires.

Personally, if you're tires are only rated for say 98mph, and you trap @ 115, I don't think you have anything to worry about.
