what are tire ratings and how to I check them? What is a tune or do you mean tune up? Can I remove the limit myself or do I need to take it to a shop?

Technically your car hit the limiters at 108mph. GTP'* being a sports car has programming to 128mph.
There'* ways to correct it, and other inequities.. just make sure you do it safely by upping the rating on your tires to accept the added speed.
