I'm pretty sure that the original spec was for a "V"-rated tire, good to 149 MPH. I believe that the higher speed tires are a bit stiffer/firmer, so handling may be affected somewhat.
Note that many brick and mortar tire stores will not mount a tire on your car that does not exactly meet the original manufacturer's spec for liability reasons - this includes an episode that I had on my former 9000 CS Turbo (came with 15" wheels) when I wanted to get new 16" tires mounted to upgraded OEM Aero 16" rims!
