I can confirm having done 110 mph and the car will go faster than that
but I don't trust neither the wire wheels nor the skinny 165's for such
issues unless I'm on a nice long straight stretch of motorway.
I suspect that proper pi's will be faster as they will be able to
overcome the drag/power border way up higher than the carb versions.
