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.

Those tires will probably last 60,000 miles.
