they should be good up to 120 or so at least. you will be fine.
S16G turbo and intercooler, Stage 4(six puck) clutchmaters, mopar 1st gen springs, rota slipstream 15x7 rims, greddy type rs bov, LC-1 wideband, custom turbo back exhaust(2.5 inch), rear disc swap, poly mounts (motor, trany, shifter).... and it is still a neon:)

Just look on the side of the tire and it should say the rating.

Here are the speed ratings...

120...its the reason they made the speed governor at 120 on neons b/c the tires that come on neons is good to that and after that they rip off and u crash in a violent flaming manner..... or atleast thats wat the manual says...

Not sure where your traveling to or from but remeber police can impound your car if your over the speed limit by 25mph. Not to mention a whole lot of other things they can get you for.

Just cruise at 80mph and be happy. Any more than that you just draw attention and are asking for a ticket.

not to mention the difference in gas mileage from driving 70, and driving 90+. And yeah, your car is limited for a reason, because of those t-rate tires.

^^^ I've had a slightly differently experience with Gas mileage doing 85-90mph and getting 38mpg where 65-75 got me 34mpg.... (this is on long highway trips going back a forth from seattle to reno)
But yeah... if your gonna do more than 80 I'd say pick your battles on when and where you going to do it.
