SR rated tires are supposed to be able to handle sustained speeds of 100mph for
   several hours.  The tires can be run faster than 100mph, but not for long 
   periods of time (>30min).

HR rated tires are supposed to be able to handle sustained speeds of 130mph for
   several hours.  These are the tires that you would run on the autobaun.  The
   difference between the two is in how the tire deforms at high speed, and how
   well it can dissipate heat.
