The higher rated speed tires typically use better rubber compunds, better belt materials and better quality control methods to ensure stability and structural integrity at higher speeds. This also ensure that they have a higher cost. Truly a case of you get what you pay for.

This is true but remember what a litigous society we live in and the high cost of lawyers and payouts to the genetically challenged who always seem to walk away with uber-high settlements for their own stupidity.  You and I know that we can get away with a brief 145mph run on an "H" rated tire but should Murphy's law come into play we all know how it would come down.
