Citing "quicker response and better traction levels," Michelin recommends never using tires with lower speed rating than recommended (higher is OK). According to them, neither fuel efficiency nor comfort factors would be effected by the higher speed rating, V to H.
Don't remember every topping 130, but I drive a lot on two-lane highways where I fairly often see 110 for short passing bursts. I figure that if I'm going to have a turbo Saab, I should spool it up every now and then.
LTS has Vs on the way.
