Sure, it'll hit 144 mph.... in a vacuum! :)

It won't matter what tires you put on there, it won't hit 144mph. The wind drag on a vehicle is quite substantial at that speed. It takes serious power and/or a very aerodynamic vehicle to get to that speed. The speed calculator is accurate to about 50ish mph before wind and other drag forces skew the calculation too much.
