You can get V's (149mph) but you will pay a lot more for the privilege. I heard they wear quicker as they are made with a softer compound, but I have no personal experience and it's usually rolling resistance that's a better indicator of wear. Softer tyres usually have a lower rolling resistance.

personally I'd stick to the H rated ones.
