I'd guess the safest speed would be 1.

I am going to take a wild guess and assume you are meaning the fastest speed you can take a 90 degree turn safely. I would say that since you are asking you probably don't need to take it faster than 20 mph.

Every turn, every condition is different. What is the condition of the tires, how much heat are in the tires, what is the tire pressure? What is the temp of the pavement? Is it concrete or ashphault? Is there snow, ice, water on the ground?

You need to learn the car for yourself, please don't take rules of thumb from people off of the internet.
