You can go with either a v or z rated tire. You would also be plenty safe with an h rated tire as long as you don't exceed speeds of 130 mph. The difference is the heat that is built up at high speeds.

Here are some options. I was not 100% sure of your tire size.

Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season (Ultra High Performance All-Season) $155.00
Special Offer:
Buy a set of four and get a $50 rebate by mail.
Size: 235/55ZR17
Sidewall Style: Blackwall

Kumho Ecsta SPT (Ultra High Performance Summer) $101.00
Size: 235/55ZR17

Buy what you are comfortable with, but do not be afraid to try other tires. I have had the Kuhmo tires above on my WRX I had. I took that car to 140.00 and also drove all day above 100.00 and the tires were great. You pay a premium for the name on the side of the tire.

I have Kumho on my stock rims, i had no issues with them. they actually felt better than stock IMO.

i agree with Todd, don't be afraid to try other tires! the kumho's he listed are definitely safer than your current tires.
