Which Cooper tires do you have?

I have the Cooper Cobra tires on mine and I could swear I looked it up and came up with mid-90 (95? 98??) mph ratings.

But I could be wrong and besides, I'm not *too* worried about taking a 95mph rated tire to 110-115mph for a short time. Sustained might worry me.

Cooper Cobra tires are T speed rated (118 mph / 190 km/h), except for P295/50R15 which is S speed rated (112 mph / 180 km/h).

Those tires will probably last 60,000 miles.
