One thing people forget is that just because your car can go 140 does not mean your tires will go 140. The stock ES's have R rated tires, which is rated for a max of 106mph. Even at a sustained 106, I would not trust an R rated tire.

Unless you have swapped out the tires for a higher speed rating, don't take chances. A blowout at 100+mph will kill you and everyone in your car.
My '07 & '10 ES both came with OEM V rated all-season tires..
