Gary, they are not rated.  You will be running a tire that is designed for straight line drag racing, with little regard for side loads, as in a spin.  Saying that, I have used the frontrunners on a 4500# car at 220 mph, but the more I thought about my investment and personal safety, the cheaper the LSR tires seemed.  You probably are safe running 150 with a 3000# car, but you get what you pay for...........Bob

Gary consider M & H  frontrunners for the front of your car. Jegs and Summitt (reasonable) have them 22.5"  & 24.5" and they are used by many of us. They are a very good tire I've been 215+ on them and feel perfectly safe. I ordered 2 additional ones last year and keep them bagged up in my stash of tires. I personally know they have been 300 at El Mirage.. They have "line treads" which do really help in stabilization at any speed..Good Luck
