well... 1
you don't want 4 555Rs
555Rs are drag radials ... you don't need them in front... only in back
2. I've gone faster than that on radials... and no blow outs... but I wouldn't reccomend doing it on a regular basis...

To my understanding, it's more of a "constant" speed rating. I've taken mine well over 120 with no problems. Just so long as you aren't there for TOO long you're fine. I mean if you make a quick trip to 150 and back down you'll be okay, but if you decide to cross country at 150 for an extended period of time, you might have trouble

someone correct me if I am wrong, but I "think" that the speed rating is also for 1 minute plus constant or something like that, so if you are 1/4 mile at 110-130 you are good to go as well
