#10733, "Tire ratings---what should i buy?"


          

okay, ive always heard that youre never supposed to put on a lesser tire rating than it says on your door.

but my rims and tires are already different than what it says on the door

i need some new tires and i was thinking of getting T rated or H rated. are the sidewalls on T too weak for our cars? ill probably just get some H

Check out tirerack.com They have the AVS Intermediates on sale right now for $58 a peice. 205/55ZR16. Its a great deal and they are Z rated. Plus for 16's that is the size to keep your speedo correct.

Well, just the fact that they are Z rated will make your 55-75 mph cruise speed even more smooth. Nobody needs to go 150 mph...that is just what they are rated at. The higher the rating the smoother the ride.

i already have z rated tires.

they are not for cruising at 55-75. thats when they are worse, imo

most cars come factory with H or V. ill be getting some H for a smoother ride

I have H rated Yokohamas, and not only are they wearing well, but they handle excellent too.

300+ tread wear and V speed rate. V are all the way up to 149. Also the tread rating is given by the maker so they aren't the same between tire manufacturers
