Thanks, Randy. "V" is what I should have said. For some reason I thought "Z" was the one good to 150mph. Chalk it up to a "brain fart".  
Here is a reminder for others (as well as for me) of tire speed ratings and depending on the rated maximum speed of your vehicle. Most dealers will not sell you a tire that is not rated for your vehicle's maximum speed:
R....106MPH
S....112MPH
T....118MPH
U....123MPH
H....130MPH
V....149MPH
W....168MPH
Y....187MPH
Z....187+MPH

You can tell the lack of craftsmanship by the wrinkles in the duct tape.
