I’ve been driving on Pirelli’s for almost 4 years and never felt unsafe in my H-rated Pirelli P6s, even at V-rated speeds (shhh!). But when it came time to get a new set of tires, Yokohama’s W-rated S-Drive‘s happened to be on sale. Go figure. (actually, they were out of stock on my first choice of Kumho Eksta ASTs, which is probably a good thing). I look forward to putting “the Yoks” to the test, but that- as well as actual photos of them on my car- may not be for awhile. 
NOTE: If you’ve ever wondered how the “Speed Ratings” on tires translate into MPH, kaltires.com has a handy chart or you can geek out with TireRack.com’s more than you ever wanted to know write-up on the history of tire ratings.
