Well, it is written VNE = 155 kts.
If you look for a 150kts airplane, maybe there are better options .
May be there is option to consider 150kts as TAS :P

Interesting cheat for a standard fork is the 380 × 150 / 15 × 6.00 – 5 Goodyear Tyre 6 ply which gives a bit for bang for the buck if you are flying under the radar.
Once upon a time there was such a thing as 5.50 × 5 tire, and those were the original certified size on my plane. They’re no longer available. The 380 ‘balloon tire’ has about the same rolling radius but is fatter. I looked and can’t figure out what they’re actually made for, the only plane listed with them as the standard tire is a Robin which was never sold in the US. Maybe the market is Cessna nose wheels, owner mod.
It’s a great owner mod, it makes the Std nose wheel fork almost as good as a Cessna heavy duty set up which costs 2-3k to retrofit.
