I doubt if anyone has their stock tires on a 1G anymore 
. Check the speed rating letter on your tires (ie. S,T,H, etc.) then go to tirerack.com and look it up. My V-rated Potenza's are far more capable than my Pro will ever go!

i have gotten my DX up to about 113 mph when it was completely stock, winter tires, and a slipping clutch, i am pretty impressed with that...
cant wait to see what it will do with a new clutch!

I don't speed anymore (I didn't really a lot before) but I sometimes cruised up there pretty high. Recently for kicks I took it up to "just" 95mph.... and it felt like ****... big difference in control from 80mph... maybe that's because my tires are worn... and I think they're mud and snow rated

i think it will, because the one i had at that speed i couldnt increase anymore because my clutch was slipping, and with a new clutch, it shouldnt slip and i should be able to accelerate more
