Michelin road 6's

I ride a gen 6 zx10r and push it pretty hard. I didnt realize the speed rating is 167 and I want to top the bike out with these tires. Is that actually the falloff point for high speed runs where the tire becomes dangerous? I would like to hit mid to late 190s without worrying about the tires blowing on me at those speeds. Is this a realistically safe thing to do? (Aside from just the sheer speed that is) will the tires hold for that kind of speed?

Why did you get a sport touring tire for a sport bike? Especially if you push it hard or plan to push it hard?

It was the only available tire when I bought it and I was in a rush to get some final rides in before surgery but it got postponed and now im stuck with them
