My Grandpa on my Mom's side used to run a Sunoco station in the early 60's. He was a bootlegger and had a knack for tuning cars. People from all over would get him to tune their cars and adjust their shifters. He had a unofficial contract with the local County Sheriff's Office to maintain all of their cars( they played cards in the back of his shop-shhhhh) Bad idea for them. Never let the local bootlegger tune your Deputy's cars! You'll never catch HIM! LOL. Anyway, he had a 62 ford truck with a 390 with a fake 'load of firewood' on the back that would run 145mph. On bias ply 60's era tires. Never had an issue. Speed ratings are good,but it's not the end of the world without them. Run 'em . Enjoy 'em. But if you are truly concerned,keep under 200 mph. Personally,I wouldn't sweat it. Coker makes a solid tire. Speed rated or not,they are not junk.
Someone will likely blast me for advising you to ignore speed ratings,or the lack there of. I'm cool with that.
